Compiled several libraries not in setup

Compiled several libraries not in setup

[Heath Raftery]

After a non-trivial amount of mucking around, I've managed to compile 
several libraries in cygwin, which weren't in the Setup program. I 
installed them to compile centericq, but I'm sure they have other uses 
too. I think the list is:

libgcrypt
libgcrypt-pthread
libgnutls
libgnutls-extra
libgpg-error
liblzo
libopencdk
libtasn1
libtiff
libz

It would take me some time to go through again and document and test the 
changes I had to make to the source, configure and install scripts, so I 
wonder if it would be of use to the cygwin community to do so. If it 
saves someone else the time it took me the first time, I think it would 
be worthwhile. What is the general procedure here?

Regards,
Heath

libtiff and libz are available, though the names are tiff and zlib for the
Cygwin packages.
