Changed the cygport file to include the build dependencies and tested on what
should essentially be a clean machine. New version available:
wget \

At the moment the install does setuid to the user id root. There is no override of this currently. Suggest adding the root user mapping as suggested on cygwin forums and re-run the install and package. Should work.
