Packaging looks good to me.

I don't know why the difference between 32 and 64 bit, but it's not
such a good idea to have dependecies twice in the setup.hint file.

In general, the direct dependencies to libs are autogenerated by cygport
and therefore should not be added to the cygport file.  So I suggest to
remove the weechat_REQUIRES line completly.  The rest of the file looks
well.

Can you please regenerate the package without the weechat_REQUIRES?

One question:  As package maintainer, you should be subscribed to
the cygwin and cygwin-apps mailing lists, the first one to receive
questions and bug reports, the latter for the stuff maintainers
talk about :)

I hope that's ok for you.  If that's ok and understood, I'd be happy
to upload WeeChat as soon as the setup.hint is fixed.


Thanks,
Corinna
