as today
$ cygcheck -cd |grep xdelta
xdelta                                  3.0.9-1

To avoid backwards, my proposal is

xdelta1-1.1.4-2
xdelta-3.0.9-2   (removing the xdelta link to xdelta3)

if we agree that going backward in not a problem,

xdelta-1.1.4-2
xdelta3-3.0.9-2

is also fine for me.

Your preference ?
