Does this also address Brian Dessent's concerns regarding
(1) versioning for cyggcc_s.dll?
(2) individual packages for each of the runtime DLLs
I think Brian makes a good argument for both...

Oh boy, I vaguely remember issues with vtables, typeinfo, and DLLs way
back when (2000ish?) ... that's downright hairy scary ugly stuff.  Gives
me the screaming willies.

Please upload: joe-3.7-1


I think I'm not the maintainer of this package anymore, so "[ITP] joe-3.7-1"
also.  (I was having mailing list trouble- my ISP changed my email address).

From the maintainer list, Jari Aalto is the maintainer of joe.

If you are not the maintainer of the package then you really can't
request an upload.

OK, I've sent mail to Jari Aalto informing him that a new version is
available.

[ITA] X.Org X11R7.4


I hereboy propose to take maintainership of Cygwin/X.

It was over two years ago that I started to work on the (then brand-new)
modular X11, and it was indeed in consideration of the sheer number of
packages involved that I created cygport.  Both cygport and X11 have
come a long way since then.  While there were several delays, both
personal and technical in nature, now I think we are (finally!) ready to
proceed.

WHAT'S NEW IN X11R7.4?

1) Each component (program, library, set of headers, set of fonts, etc.)
is shipped upstream in its own package, for a total of ~185 source
packages.  Sources are autotoolized, but the old imake system is still
available separately for external packages still using it.

2) /usr/X11R6 is gone; the standard /usr prefix is now used.

3) Fonts have been moved to /usr/share/fonts.

4) libX11 is XCB-based.  This adds a dependency on xcb-proto and libxcb,
which I propose to add now as well.

5) A number of X extensions (DMX, FontCache, LBX, XF86BigFont, Xinerama,
Xprint, XTrap, and the font server) have been deprecated upstream and in
most cases completely removed from the xserver; their corresponding
libraries and programs will therefore not be included.

6) OpenGL support is built from the upstream Mesa package, which I have

Let me explain with an example.  The libXfixes packages are:

(libXfixes3)
/usr/bin/cygXfixes-3.dll
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/libXfixes-*.README
/usr/share/doc/libXfixes-*/*

(libXfixes-devel)
/usr/include/X11/extensions/Xfixes.h
/usr/lib/libXfixes.*
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/xfixes.pc
/usr/share/man/man3/*

libXfixes3 and libXfixes-devel have category: X11 and external-source:
libXfixes.  AFAIK (and please correct me if I'm wrong) upset and/or
setup require a binary libXfixes package to go alongside the source
package, so they are empty.   I don't want the empty binary libXfixes to
pollute the package list, so I used the _source category for libXfixes
so that it's hidden by default.

I use genini for the Ports setup.ini's, and I see no problems there.
But I also need to change 80+ other packages' dependencies, and between
