I've done another clean-up of cygwin-pkg-maint, removing those source 
packages names which no longer exist after x86 was archived (i.e only 
existed as x86 packages)

Note that a lot of long obsolete install package names have also 
disappeared (e.g. ash, which was obsoleted by dash in 2009, etc.)
