Understood, Larry.  It's just that there are so many packages, and I
don't want to manually find all the matching packages.  Before, if I
wanted to replicate a cygwin install on another machine, I just
reinstalled all my packages, but saved the packages to a folder that I
could write to disc.  I can't do that if I want to replicate my
packages as 62-bit versions.
