The chicken. Wait no, the egg. Ah, well no, I think it's the chicken...

These are package installation dependencies. If you're trying to build
the Cygwin DLL, visit <http://cygwin.com/contrib.html> for info. If you're
trying to build some other package, its configure script will tell you
the libraries it depends on. You can then go looking in
<http://cygwin.com/packages/> to find the packages you need to install
if you don't already have them.
