Hi Andy,

there is a double
>>> neko requires: cygwin libneko2 libneko2 neko-std-ndlls

As libneko2 dependency is already catch by cyport you don't need to
explicitly declare it.

We usually prefer to have at least a minimal manual, like debian
https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/neko/filelist

/usr/share/man/man1/neko.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/nekoc.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/nekoml.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/nekotools.1.gz

specially as the programs are not following standard expectation

$ ./neko --help
Uncaught exception - load.c(181) : Module not found : --help

From this point of view, it seems a lack of Neko in general.

Except that, it is GTG for me

Any reason to not build debuginfo and skipping strip ?

Marco
