Anyway, this would be great to have as a package. > mysql-3.23.47-1.setup.hint > > category: Database > requires: cygwin > sdesc: "The MySQL Relational Database Management System" > ldesc: "Relational database management system.

Again, this has my vote. > w3c-libwww-5.3.2-1.setup.hint > > category: Libs Net Web > requires: cygwin > sdesc: "The LibWWW world wide web client library" > ldesc: "The W3C LibWWW world wide web client library.

If not, then I think the Net and Web categories are incorrect (it has no direct use). Contrast with libxml2, which has xmllint in the package. If/when I split libxml2 into client and library packages, the client will be in docs, but the library won't be. > webalizer-2.01-09.setup.hint > > category: Web Utils > requires: cygwin gd > sdesc: "Webalizer Web Log Analysis" > ldesc: "Generate website hit/visit/page statistics and graphs including > daily and hourly usage, top URLS, top entry pages, top exit pages, > visiting sites, and countries.
