Thanks for the information. I used the same source URL as Fedora [1] - 
in fact, I just translated Fedora's 'spec' file into 'cygport' form.

Obviously, a new maintainer is free to pick whichever source of the Moby 
dictionary that he or she wishes. Note, however, that in the Gutenberg 
mirror, the files have all been renamed meaning that Fedora's 'typos' 
patch won't apply.

Dave.
