You're only having a problem with -devel, right, not the library package 
proper?

Does this .cygport file solve the problem?



DESCRIPTION="Expat XML parser library"
HOMEPAGE="http://expat.sourceforge.net/"
SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/${PN}/${P}.tar.gz"

abi=1
PKG_NAMES="${PN} lib${PN}${abi} lib${PN}-devel"
PKG_HINTS="setup lib${abi} devel"
PKG_CONTENTS[0]='usr/bin/*.exe usr/share/'
PKG_CONTENTS[1]="usr/bin/*-${abi}.dll"
PKG_CONTENTS[2]='usr/include/ usr/lib/'

CYGCONF_ARGS="--enable-static"

DIFF_EXCLUDES="expat_config.h.in"

HTMLDOCS="doc/*.png doc/*.html doc/*.css"



The only change from the one I used to build the -2 package is that the 
PKG_NAMES line used to be:

PKG_NAMES="${PN} lib${PN}${abi} lib${PN}${abi}-devel"



It's probably best to just rename this stuff in the repo.  The last 
release of Expat was 6 years ago, and I have no information that leads 
me to expect another release soon.  If there were an imminent release 
due, I'd say hold off, and let me roll the change into that version.

Anyway, I've changed my local .cygport file as above, in case I ever 
have to use it again. :)
