I think JonY was trying to indicate that the checkout-date was part of 
the version, not the cygwin-release.

I usually use an underscore in that case:

foo-2.4.6_YYYYMMDD-1

But if setup is happy with 2.4.6-YYYYMMDD-1 and understands that the 
"version" is "2.4.6-YYYYMMDD" and the release is "1" (rather than 
"2.4.6" and "YYYYMMDD-1") then I don't think it matters.
