Subject: Setup loads gcc-2.95.2-6 over gcc 2.95.2-7 (was Re:
  libuser32.a left out of latest Cygwin distro?)

Setup 2.29 always proposes to load gcc 2.95.2-6, even if you have gcc 
2.95.2-7 installed. This bug is independent of the mirror used (I tried 6 
or 7 different mirrors).

Also, when you download from Internet, setup often "thinks" you have 
version 0 installed of the following packages: bison, dejagnu, expect, 
flex, grep, less and textinfo, even if you have a later version installed. 
You have to go in the corresponding directory and delete old archives that 
do not have name of the form package-L.M.N-v.tar.gz, e.g., delete 
bison/bison.tar.gz for that behavior to stop.

One last thing, setup doesn't recognize that inetutils-1.3.2-10 is already 
loaded and always proposes to do it again if you had inetutils-1.3.2-8 
installed at some point.

I know I should debug this and send a patch, but for now I just wanted to 
confirm that users having troubles with setup overwriting their latest 
download are not hallucinating.
