Since I plan to keep my packages for 1.5 up to date [*] until 1.7 is
released, it's easier for me to keep them the same...

[*] ESPECIALLY the autotools. Until VERY recently, the whole "failed to
remap" problem has been much much worse (mostly just for ME, apparently)
under pickone(cygwin-1.7|Vista) -- which made autoreconf...tricky.  So
my fallback has been to do the autoreconf step on cyg1.5 when necessary,
which is only possible if both autotoolchains are identical.  This may
soon be a moot point, once Corinna's/cgf's fix for the issue gets in to
cygwin-1.7.0-49 or so.

Until then, I'll be hacking my cygport-0.4.x on cygwin-1.5 to also use
-V for precisely this reason.
