I want to flag that:

the current setup.ini (20061023 02:00) contains:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
@ libasprintf0
sdesc: "C-style formatted output in C++ (runtime)"
ldesc: "libasprintf makes the C formatted output routines
(fprintf et. al.) usable in C++ programs, with C++ Standard
Library strings and iostreams.  For instance:
   cerr << autosprintf ('syntax error in %s:%d: %s', filename, line,
errstring);
as opposed to
   cerr << 'syntax error in ' << filename << ':" << line << ': ' <<
errstring;
This is important for gettext/internationalized C++ programs, as the
format string in the autosprintf example can be translated as a single
unit, while the C++-traditional style cannot.  Further, autosprintf
supports
positional parameters in the format string, which is important when the
translation rearranges the arguments."
category: Libs
requires: cygwin
version: 0.15-1
install: release/gettext/libasprintf0/libasprintf0-0.15-1.tar.bz2 104690
90a3e2ecaa2d0ad38cc38b3d09e51d7f
source: release/gettext/gettext-0.15-1-src.tar.bz2 8114519

--------------------------------


When one tries to update Cygwin, 'setup.exe' gives 'run-time' error when
parsing setup.ini.


Cheers,

   Angelo.
