Re: setup.hints which mention Base in their category

Thanks.
As a further optimization, we should move:
libncurses5
libncurses6
libreadline4
to category _obsolete because they are not used by anything.
libreadline5 is almost-but-not-quite obsolete, it is still in use by
only:
SWI-Prolog
units
It looks like we can also clean up references to the ancient unversioned
'libintl' package. There are only three packages that call for this
package:
grep
xorg-x11-bin
xorg-x11-bin-dlls
All three contain the strange combination of both libintl and libintl1
in the "requires", which looks wrong. I checked every binary under
/usr/bin and /usr/X11R6/bin and none of them depend on the unversioned
cygintl.dll. So, libintl can be moved to _obsolete too, and the three
"requires" above need to be edited to reflect the proper versioned
library name.
grep's dependencies are especially broken:
$ cygcheck grep | grep -i intl
C:\cygwin\bin\cygintl-3.dll
requires: bash cygwin libintl1 libpcre0 libintl libiconv2

Just to confirm I tested the newly edited setup.ini on a fresh install
and it worked fine, pulling in only the necessary libs for things in
Base.
