I recompiled and posted a new build of the Cygwin/X package that were

require cygipc.
I still need to update (rebuild required):
*** GraphicsMagick
*** libGraphicsMagick-devel
*** libGraphicsMagick0
*** ImageMagick
*** libMagick-devel
*** libMagick6
Others need to update setup.hint's for (no rebuild required):
*** gd
*** libgd-devel
*** libgd2
*** gnuplot
*** gv
*** xemacs
Others need to rebuild:
*** postgresql
Looks like we are only 3 package rebuilds away from no longer requiring
cygipc... not to say that it would be wise to immediately pull it from
distribution, but at least we would be one step closer.
I find it hard to believe that all of the above packages actually
directly rely on cygpic. I suspect that most of these are bypassing the
rule of not including dependencies of packages from the "Required" line
in setup.hint. So, most of the cygpic's (and probably a lot of other
dependencies) should probably be dropped.
