  I had a bit of a hiccup! <g>  Because you didn't add this new package to any
requires: line of the other packages, it didn't get pulled in automatically by
setup.exe; the result was that the last update silently uninstalled
cyggmpxx-3.dll!

  Problem solved for me now, but do you want to update the setup.hint?  It
doesn't seem to be causing big problems so if you had another update on the
way you might just want to roll it into that.

    cheers,
      DaveK
