Hmmm - I never thought to look there, apparently you've
done a lot of the work already :-)

And looking at the ports list, it seems that all the libs I
was hoping to port over are already there!

Is there any value at all in building a package targeted for
the "official" Cygwin setup?

And do you need some help in getting the Lua stuff in ports
updated to the latest versions?

PS. A brief answer here is OK, and then I'll move the discussin
     to cygwin-ports if it turns out that's where we're going
