To quote: "Maybe just posting the proposed setup.hint file would be enough, with ldesc, sdesc, category, and requires lines filled in." Do you see a 'ldesc', 'sdesc', 'category', or 'required', here? My reason for asking for this information is that it demonstrates that the person who is interested in submitting the package (i.e., not Gerrit, although I would have bet $20 that he would respond) actually understands the conventions. This seems like a really simple request to me. I don't know why it is so difficult to get this information. I guess because it's cygwin... cgf
