I've found the problem with setup, and am preparing a new version now.
FYI it's an infinite loop caused by the packages autoconf and
autoconf-devel (amongst others) depending on each other.

Bleah -- but I tested this earlier. It worked...or at least I thought I
was exercising the proper code path; I specifically wanted to make sure
that cyclic dependencies were okay.
I guess my earlier 'test' didn't really *test* what I thought it was
testing...sorry for the trouble, folks.
BUT: the dependency loop NEEDS to be there -- becuase those packages ARE
mutually dependent. It's just that setup needs to traverse the loop
only once and terminate. :-)

Yes, which is why I'm fixing setup, not hammering on your door about
setup.ini :}.

Okay, well while you're mucking with the setup code, I've got a question
for you:
1) joe user has the autoconf package installed on his system. in the
past, autoconf depended only on cygwin, perl, m4
2) now, the new version of autoconf depends on cygwin, perl, m4, AND
autoconf-devel + autoconf-stable. (I KNOW that joe user doesn't have
autoconf-devel/stable installed because they are brand new packages)
Q: will setup automatically select autoconf-devel and autoconf-stable if
joe chooses to update his autoconf to the new version? Why? (merely
because -stable and -devel are NEW, or because of the new dependency
specified by setup.ini for autoconf itself?)
Q: what if the new dependency was on a package -- say, 'squid' -- that
has been around a long time, and joe has previously skipped (so now it's
"permanently" skipped). Will setup present 'squid' as a new required
dependency and automatically select it if joe decides to update his
existing autoconf?
