I have no time to install "many old versions" just to check if it works, 
I have the habit to put there the version used to compile it
BTW: I *always* did so in ALL my packages ^_^

Anyway if you perfer I'll change it into "tested with cygwin-1.3.19, shuold work with other releases" thought it seems clunky to me

Again, this is a change I should do to all my packages (if it is a good 
change for this one, shuld be also for the others).

Actually I would need a "virgin" system with no package installed to see 
exactly on what missing program the various installations chocke... it's 
not obly a question of "gcc", but maybe "awk", "grep", "make", "sed" and 
so on...

Anyway in *this* case this is pretty simple (make, gcc and nothing else) 
but the others... whoa...

Yup, it's a very good reformatter, I wonder why I discovered it only 1 
week ago =(
