May I ask WHY this change was made? There is a REASON that DLLs get their own package, separate from the "main" package -- it's because DLLs' version numbers change, and in order to have both "cygfoo-0.dll" and "cygfoo-1.dll" installed at the same time, they need to be in separate packages...a single "foo" package won't do the trick. Granted, popt hasn't changed in about a decade, and is unlikely to "bump" to a new DLL number any time soon...but why mess with a working nomenclature system for no reason? -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
