The naming was probably inherited from linux, where it is possible to 
have both kde (1) and kde (2) and kde (3) all installed on the same 
machine.  Therefore, each needs different basename.

If the kde-cygwin folks want to maintain that package-name distinction, 
then they should just use "kdelibs_2" instead of "kdelibs-2" as their 
basename.  Then upset and setup will be happy -- and end users will be 
able to install both kdelibs_2 and kdelibs_3.
