If your package is dependent on a file provided by another package that >other package should be included here - this includes the cygwin package >itself!" implied that *everything* required cygwin...? I'm not sure how you got that impression. "This includes the cygwin package itself" would be applied to "If your package is dependent on a file". So, if your package is not dependent on anything in the cygwin package there is not reason to include the cygwin package. If the intent was to say "Always include the cygwin package" then it would have been a lot clearer to say that. I'd clarify this if I understood why this is confusing. cgf
