  This is a very strange way round to express the dependencies if you ask
me.

  Cygwin depends on winsup, winsup depends on newlib.  Well, I guess if
newlib won't build in cygwin configuration without winsup being present then
I guess its a circular dependency.  Still sounds a bit strange to me though.
