Yes, but your version builds a whole bunch of bindings and such that you
can't do using only packages in the official Cygwin distro. When I said
I couldn't get graphviz to build, it's because I was still in the
process of removing stuff from your .cygport file. My effort to adopt
these new packages is interleaved with "real work", so my
edit/compile/debug/retry cycle is hours long.
As I see it, this is why Ports is still useful, because I don't see
Cygwin adopting 100% of the packages in it. These interdependencies
make Ports much richer, but also more complicated. There's a need for both.
