Harold,
Implementing the test-release in setup.exe is real easy. Take, for
example, the setup.hint of GDB:
sdesc: "The GNU Debugger"
category: Devel
requires: cygwin termcap
test: 20020411-1
curr: 20010428-3
That's all there is to it :-). FWIW, I think CGF's suggestion is a good
one, as it makes it much easier to deal with...
Cheers,
Nicholas
