A base Cygwin install now requires Python. Can this be changed? While Python is
a good language I hardly feel it is appropriate to add that bulk to a base
install.

Indeed; libglib2.0_0 should not require python-gobject; that was a falsepositive created by the gdb.py support files. I have removed thisdependency on sourceware.
