Fixed.

Fixed. Here is new one:

  wget        \
    http://cygwin.cante.net/grepmail/setup.hint \
    http://cygwin.cante.net/grepmail/grepmail-5.3033-1-src.tar.bz2 \

The code contains module checks and will instruct how the missing CPAN
modules are installed. See

    CYGWIN-PATCHES/0001-grepmail-Add-CPAN-check.patch

I didn't expect the user to check README :-)

I don't think we should package CPAN, because Perl language itself
contains the needed interface, upgrade and other and dependency checks.

Once again, thanks for eagle eye
