Is there any value at all in building a package targeted for the "official" Cygwin setup? And do you need some help in getting the Lua stuff in ports updated to the latest versions? Ralph PS. A brief answer here is OK, and then I'll move the discussin to cygwin-ports if it turns out that's where we're going
