How about an explanation about what figlet is?

I'm sure that I could figure this out myself by doing a google search but I
think a description of the package and rationale for its inclusion would be
step one in deciding if it should be included in the cygwin distribution.

Maybe just posting the proposed setup.hint file would be enough, with
ldesc, sdesc, category, and requires lines filled in.
