Coincidentally, I noticed what might be considered a packaging issue with mutt
the other day: 'cygcheck -c' will always report mutt as 'Incomplete'

$ cygcheck -c mutt
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
mutt                 1.5.20-1       Incomplete

This seems to be because mutt installs a couple of .setupnew files into /etc/
and the postinstall script moves them into place (making backups if needed).

Installing the files into /etc/defaults and copying them in the postinstall
script might be a solution.
