If you're willing to do that for 32 and 64 bit, ok.

...aren't I going to get exactly the same output tarballs as
before, just with different names?

The content of the src packages won't match the new version if we
just copy the files.  A rebuild is simplest and cleanest.

Okay.

I'll wait for this PKG_OBSOLETES feature to ship in Cygport, and be a guinea pig for it.
