Okay.

I did a quick 'cygcheck' on each of those packages and saw two things 
that made me think that they do not directly depend on cygipc:

1) cygipc wasn't listed.

2) cygX11-6.dll was listed, which means that there would have been a 
false dependence on cygipc generated by this library before.

Hope that helps.  I think you can just update the setup.hint's for those 
packages.
