In long standing cygwin installations, many no longer needed
automatically installed packages (e.g. libicuNN) accumulate. This patch
adds a new view which is possibly helpful to cleanup packages manually.
Some possible later enhancements:
- automatically refresh this view (a few seconds) after the user changed
a package status as this may add or remove entries.
- add a keyboard shortcut (^U) to the list view for "Uninstall this
package and then select next package"

Thanks. This looks good.
I think perhaps a better approach would be a view showing all packages
which aren't user_picked, or a dependency of a user_picked package.
(If I've read the code correctly your implementation has the weakness
that if e.g. appA -> libbB -> libC, which is then changed to appA ->
libD -> libE, it will only show libC as unneeded, then libB on the next
run?)

This seems redundant. Why can't this be just !pkg.desired?
This should also update the tooltip for the view dropdown
(IDS_VIEWBUTTON_TOOLTIP) to describe the new view.

This would drop the ability to easily clean up user_picked packages
without later conflicts. The attached new patch splits this into two
views "Removable" (not "Uninstallable" due to possible ambiguity with
"cannot be installed") and "Unneeded" (or "Stale" ?).

I'm not sure for this case. It may be correct again after the view is
refreshed during the same run. In general, this ad-hoc algorithm does
not handle all corner cases. It should be sufficient if installation
cleanup is done in a separate run.

Yes, fixed. I originally wanted to handle the "install source package
without the binary" case here. During development of "Ctrl+I/R/U" patch,
I learned that this could not happen.

Done.
Open issue: An easy way to refresh the views after Uninstall requests
(Ctrl+L ?).

Thanks. I applied this.
I'm not sure these are the perfect filters, but they are a lot better
than the nothing we have at the moment :)
Some time ago, I thought about replacing the "view"s list with a
drop-down menu which would let you choose how to filter and show the
package list, but I don't think I got around to writing anything...
e.g
---
[x] Installed
[✓] Changed
[ ] Picked
[ ] Needed
---
[✓] Category
[ ] List
---
(I think the filter menu items would need to be tri-stateable so they
can represent "true", "false" and "don't care", so this might be complex
to implement...)
Later: actually it looks like I started writing some of this [1], but
didn't get very far...
