No problem.  I'll try to give them all the attention they deserve.

I have a question about how this (and AMF I guess) works.

Are these headers which implement the whole codec? or do they expect the 
codec to be accessible via the driver somehow?

I've posted some specific comments on some of these.

Please double-check that packages which contain a soversioned library 
include that in the package name (for reasons touched on in [1]).

If you'd like me to review any of these again, please post the just new 
.cygport file in a follow-up (since that will save me a little time in 
having to extract it)

I've updated the package list.
