Base 64-bit Cygwin now requires Perl?

[Steven Penny]

Because of this dependency line

man
 groff
  perl

A base 64-bit Cygwin install now requires Perl. Can this be changed? While Perl
is a fine language I hardly feel it is appropriate to add that bulk to a base
install.

Note this issue is only with the 64-bit version, the base 32-bit Cygwin install
does not require Perl.
