| 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

The latter. It would be in par with Linux packages.
