You can't have the same files in two different packages, so if you
wanted to do that you'd need to psplit out a doc package as well and
have that as a required package for the other two.

I'm not saying this is urgent, but maybe the next time you need to
package libargp anyway you might do what I've outlined above.  Provided
you use cygport it isn't any burden past the initial setup and it's
cleaner for other packages that depend on this one.

Achim.
