Just as a sidenote, you could have a look into Yaakov's or my 64 bit
package cygport files.  Of my packages see, for instance, gawk, openssh
and, FWIW, the cygwin package itself.  The only thing you really have to
keep in mind is to specify the cygport file always with the .cygport
suffix:

  $ cygport foo almostall           # Wrong
  $ cygport foo.cygport almostall   # Correct

Btw., did you notice http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-05/msg00379.html ?
