You're right. I was replying to a thread that was already on-list, but
in fact it seems the entire thing -- the "upset vs. genini" subthread,
and the original "[1.7] packaging problem? Both /usr/bin/ and /usr/lib/
are non-empty" threads belonged over there.
Future followups to both (sub)threads will be on cygwin-apps. Sorry for
the noise.
I'll look into adding the appropriate "ignore missing -src" option to
genini and post it to cygwin-apps.
