Re: cygwin-doc


AFAIK, setup doesn't handle "buildRequires".  What I've been doing is to 
only list runtime dependencies for the binary package in the Requires: 
line, and then just mention the buildtime requirements in the readme.

e.g. you don't list gcc/binutils in the Requires: line of every package.
