Is this the right way to do this? Or should I release a test package?
As long as you remember what you did it's going to be OK. A test
package might only be needed if someone else asks for it or you need
testers.
BTW, since we're still not having feedback from Volker Zell,
We did get feedback from him on a different issue:
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2015-06/msg00149.html
So I think it's clear that he won't be rebuilding his packages in the near future.
Let's not wait for him. I'll rebuild his packages if necessary.
Just to save you or Volker a little time, I already took a look at ming and
found that it needs the following patch in order to link with our current Tcl:
