Yep, anything that reduces the amount of required faffing around before 
you can type 'make' would be good. Something else which is a bit odd is 
that the autogen.sh/configure scripts expect you to have a system libxml2 
and ant installed despite the fact that these are included in src:

7740a8ec23878a2f50120e1faa2730f2-libxml2-2.7.6.tar.gz
apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz

Seems peculiar - why is this?

Is anyone familiar with any way to script Cygwin package installation?
