People have been asking for a list of packages that are required for 
building Cygwin/XFree86.  You will now find a, hopefully complete, list 
of the additional packages that must be selected at:

Additionally, I have changed the instructions for bootstrapping the 
'lndir' utility; I removed the step that used 'sed' to change the CC 
variable from 'cc' to 'gcc'.  Instead, you now run the following command:

make -f Makefile.ini CC=gcc CDEBUGFLAGS=-O2 lndir


That is cleaner than it was previously, not that it really matters though :)
