To quote:
"Maybe just posting the proposed setup.hint file would be enough, with
ldesc, sdesc, category, and requires lines filled in."
Do you see a 'ldesc', 'sdesc', 'category', or 'required', here?
My reason for asking for this information is that it demonstrates that
the person who is interested in submitting the package (i.e., not
Gerrit, although I would have bet $20 that he would respond) actually
understands the conventions.
This seems like a really simple request to me. I don't know why it
is so difficult to get this information. I guess because it's
cygwin...
