Even if I wasn't just concerned about your free time and sanity, I'd

Precisely why I've hesitated to take on lots more packages within the distro.


However, if you really want to take on the task of doing a bulk move
we should talk about it in cygwin-apps.

I understand; we've done this before (Cygwin/X) and Corinna would like me to do another (DocBook, ~25 packages)[1], but beyond that, my current goal is only to remove the aformentioned overlaps[2] between the distro and Ports.
