The reason that I didn't bother with changing the prefix to 'cyg' for the TEA-based packages (tcl, tk, tk-img, tk-tix, tk-togl) is that the TEA system uses a completely different way to distinguish between Windows and *NIX: the Win32 DLLs have *no* prefix nor a '.' in the version number (libtcl8.5.dll vs. tcl84.dll). Therefore, *for this particular build system*, I saw no point in doing so. Of course, Ports' Tcl recognizes both 'cyg' and 'lib' prefixes, as some Tcl extensions (e.g. berkeley-db, graphviz, sqlite3) are built with libtool. AFAIK, this is the reasoning behind python (libpython2.5.dll vs. python25.dll), and I did this as well with R (libR.dll). These are the only libraries which don't use the 'cyg' prefix. > * e2fsprogs > Distro package is orphaned.
