Thanks.

libatomic_ops.cygport:

A comment that we need to correct for this installing it's documentation 
into usr/share/libatomic_ops, rather that usr/share/doc/libatomic_ops 
might be nice.

This could alternatively be written using a custom src_install which 
calls cyginstall then moves the directory, which might be less brittle 
to changes in the file list?

This might be an upstream defect if it doesn't respect --docdir?

libgc.cygport:

DEPEND might be better written pkgconfig(atomic_ops)

Again, stuff installed to usr/share/gc/ should probably be moved to 
usr/share/doc/gc


I note we also have libgc-7.2d-2 as non-source package, which just 
contains usr/share/doc/Cygwin/libgc.README.  That probably needs to be 
cleaned up by being obsoleted.
