FYI, the only place that I could find the string "2.95" anywhere in the
cygwin directory was in an xfree web page.  I assume that you were
probably looking at a cached copy of the ported.html web page.

The xraylith.wisc.edu site does show up in the tcl/tk link, though.  I left
that because I thought it was still appropriate.

Two other observations:

1) It is entirely possible that there are other software packages listed on
   the "ported.html" or other web pages which are now part of the actual cygwin
   package.  We try to support the packages that are downloaded by the setup.exe
   utility.  We don't support anything that is available from other locations.

2) THERE IS NO REASON TO CC ME.  Please stop Cc'ing me in your responses.  I read
   the cygwin mailing list.  There is no reason to add a personal Cc.
