I don't think there's any perfect solution to this problem -- as noted
there just isn't a perfect mapping between 32-bit and 64-bit packages --
but it occurs to me that you could install the cygcheck-dep package and
call `cygcheck-dep -il`.  That'll give you a list of just the "leaves"
in the tree of installed packages and their dependencies, which may be a
better starting point for what packages you need to install on your new
system, since you'll automatically get all their dependencies.
