Yeah, but cygcheck.exe also needs to be able to, at minimum, parse the 
version string of a given package (cygcheck -c).  We're not yet at the 
point of requiring setup.ini for proper cygcheck operation (and cygcheck 
doesn't REALLY need to know about package dependencies and -src tarballs 
and category information....)

I don't think it's that big a deal to require cygwin packages to follow 
a parseable naming scheme; ours is pretty lenient...when it fails, it's 
not a terrible imposition to either change a '-' to a '_', or swap some 
digits and alphabetics within a -XXXX- word.
