Harold,

Implementing the test-release in setup.exe is real easy.  Take, for
example, the setup.hint of GDB:

sdesc: "The GNU Debugger"
category: Devel
requires: cygwin termcap
test: 20020411-1
curr: 20010428-3

That's all there is to it :-).  FWIW, I think CGF's suggestion is a good
one, as it makes it much easier to deal with...

Cheers,
Nicholas
