Package: help2man 1.33.1-1 [2004-01-07]
Description: Creates man pages from program output
Proposer: Yaakov Selkowitz
Proposal: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-01/msg00027.html
http://mysite.verizon.net/yselkowitz/cygwin/release/help2man/help2man-1.33.1-1.tar.bz2

http://mysite.verizon.net/yselkowitz/cygwin/release/help2man/setup.hint
Status: Attained required 3 votes. Package available.
HOLD-UPS: No "good to go" review.
Rebuilt from -src, installed, dir layout, etc. All good.
As far as your comment about building with/without nls support, you are
correct that doing so would require another "package" -- the perl
Locale::gettext module. That module does build and install without
problems, but as you say:
"but until last week we hadn't dealt with distributing Perl modules, and
I wasn't interested in being the first."
That's a fair argument.
Good to go.
