I still carry the README patch below locally since it was not accepted
the last time around and it will likely need a few changes to be
up-to-date with today's reality.  For instance libgetopt++ is now
included in the tree, while I'd have preferred if it was a subtree or
submodule, which is more closely in line with the state it had in CVS.

 HOW TO BUILD:
 -------------
 Setup should build out-of-the-box on any Cygwin environment that has all the
 required packages installed:
-  - mingw-gcc-g++
   - make
-  - mingw-bzip2
-  - mingw-libgcrypt-devel
-  - mingw-liblzma-devel
-  - mingw-zlib
-  - and all packages that are dependencies of the above, i.e.  gcc-mingw-core,
-    mingw-runtime, binutils, w*api, etc.
+  - mingw64-gcc-g++
+  - mingw64-bzip2
+  - mingw64-libgcrypt
+  - mingw64-xz
+  - mingw64-zlib
+  - and all packages that are dependencies of the above
   - upx (optional)
 
 The following additional packages are required if building from CVS, not from
 a source tarball, or if you want to make changes to the build system.
   - recent autoconf
   - recent automake
   - recent libtool
   - flex
   - bison
 
+Additionally, libgetopt++ (also available from the cygwin-apps CVS at
+sourceware.org) must be available directly as a subdirectory
+libgetopt++ within the setup source directory.  It should be
+automatically populated by CVS, but if you are using tools like
+CVSgrab, you may need to fetch this yourself.
+
 Build commands:
 1) Configure using this option
    $ /path/to/setup/bootstrap.sh
-   This will automatically rebuild configure files and run configure in the
-   current directory.
+   This will automatically rebuild configure files and run configure

 2) $ make
 
 3) Wondering why your binary is so much bigger than the official releases?
    This removes debugging symbols:
    $ make strip
