  Let me explain what happened. Because I use github release mechanism [1],
I can only upload "binary" or file, not include directory. At first, I
rename each setup.hint to different name, which might look likes
below:

  https://github.com/azru0512/cygwin/releases/tag/hidapi-0.8.0-rc1.i686

Then I feel there would be too many links in one mail, so I turn to
use one tarball (I forgot rename those setup.hint back). That's why
you see those setup-xxx.hint files.

  So either I upload a single tarball (with all setup.hint untouched),
or I upload each setup.hint (each has different name) and
corresponding tarball. If neither way is okay, then I will find other
web space so that I can upload entire directory.

  What do you think?
