And, yet, I'm a developer, and I don't have one of those libraries on my
system.

I am looking for standard, frequently used linux packages that are
missing from the cygwin distribution.  You certainly can't put "adns" in
the same classification as bind.

I could have easily gone to the Debian web site and pulled down a list
of hundreds of packages that are not in Cygwin.  My intent was to see
what people thought was obviously missing.

Do you actually use adns frequently?  Somehow I suspect that you don't.
