Cygwin patch numbers


Folks,

I notice that the Cygwin developers use a standard naming convention for
the packages containing, for example gawk and sed.  This convention is
based upon the tool's version number and various patch levels, such as:

 gawk-3.1.2-2.tar.bz2

However when gawk --version is executed the version number only displays
as 3.1.2 (the GNU awk version/patch number).  Would it be possible for
the Cygwin patch number (the -2 above) to be included in the version
number for each tool/package please?
