Hello.

I would like to make a request of Cygwin's package maintainers: please leave the generated config.cache file in the source package.

I suggest this to aid in rebuilding from source packages.  As it is, those who want to rebuild there own binaries have no idea what config options were used in the standard cygwin build.  The user who wants to rebuild the source with config option A may 
be losing the options X, Y and Z used in the original cygwin build.

Thank you.
