Hi Erwin,

Could you please package the latest libunistring 1.3 (available since last 
October) as it appears it should fix issues I have updating gettext, according 
to the upstream maintainer of both.

I have successfully built a local copy and pushed an update to the CI playground 
repo:
	https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi?srcpkg=libunistring&id=10200

https://cygwin.com/cgit/cygwin-packages/libunistring/commit/?id=e3b60bdc62e0b271061159b42391f20606cdb90d

also defining LICENSE (from README, COPYING.LIB, COPYING) and BUILD_REQUIRES 
(from DEPENDENCIES), adding ABI for SO/DLL version, and use in `declare` 
variable definitions, to make future updates easier (tip from Jon Turney).

 From what I have seen in recent builds, you may no longer need the CFLAGS you 
define, as they all seem to do that, possibly from using gnulib with autotools.

Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis              Calgary, Alberta, Canada
