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.
