Doesn't the problem fix itself for those using Cygport's .hint file 
generation?  For those not using this feature, it would be a gentle clue 
why it's a good idea.

You'd have to fake a -3 package set, with libexpat-devel-3 set to 
obsolete libexpat1-devel-2, so that package developers would 
automatically get new packages on their next Cygwin update.
