We should have a global rule for those issues. It would be perfect
if I could remove those kind of dependencies, e.g. it would be
possible to include plugins for programs that are not available via
the cygwin mirrors, i.e. I think of perl modules like e.g DBD::MySql
or DBD::Oracle (which would be nice to have).
