 Hmm... I've been reading very much of setup-related postings and this is
the first time that THIS thing has been spelled out.

 Therefore I have doubts, is this REALLY true? I can see the effects beeing
a tad in this direction:
 X packages didn't get installed, but the packages (below) that requires
cygX11-6.dll did get installed - I had expected this to not happen.

 What DOES the requires line in the setup data file actually provide when it
comes to functionality?


Googling seems to show up the *inverse* problem; i.e. *not* running the
postinstall scripts when actually asked to:

http://www.google.com/search?q=site:cygwin.com+inurl:2004+postinstall+gtk2-x
11.sh&hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&start=0&sa=N

This OTOH doesn't seem to match my problem at all;
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:cygwin.com+inurl:2004+postinstall+post-t
exmf.sh&hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&start=10&sa=N
