Re: packages that should be in the cygwin distribution but aren't

I have bind here, please someone grab it and make a package from this initial port, the server needs more testing: http://anfaenger.de/cygwin/DNS/bind-9.2.2/

In some cases we have packages which offer similar-but-not-identical behavior
but in some cases (ping, screen) we don't have anything close, AFAIK.

I'm sure that there must be other packages that are missing.  Can anyone add
to the above list?  Are we missing any standard development packages, for
instance?

devel: any haskell compiler atlas adns ares aalib blas beecrypt cblas cln c-ares dmalloc edit / editline / libedit gc gnutls icu jikes kaffe lapack lua libtasn1 libffi standalone libtar mysql mozilla nettle ntl pathan pm3 raptor / redland smalleiffel stlport source-navigator;) sdl sqlite slatec slang sablotron xalan yasm (nasm successor)

more audio stuff
more video stuff

$ hello
bash: hello: command not found


You can probably see where I'm going with this.  I'd like to see if there
are any volunteers to offer and support these packages.  Any of the above
is guaranteed to make it into the distribution as long as the packaging
is ok.
