requires: cygwin XFree86-base XFree86-bin jbigkit jpeg libbz2_1 libpng12 
libtiff libxml2 zlib


C:\cygwin\bin\cygbz2-1.dll
   libbz2_1  -- check

C:\cygwin\bin\cygjbig1.dll
   jbigkit  --check

C:\cygwin\bin\cygjpeg6b.dll

C:\cygwin\bin\cygpng12.dll
   libpng12  -- check

C:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll
   zlib  --check

C:\cygwin\bin\cygtiff3.dll
   tiff  -- NOT libtiff

I don't know about the X-dependencies, but of the others, it appears 
that only the 'tiff'/'libtiff' dependency is wrong.

I think you should include the C++ and Perl interface libraries.  


BTW, have you contacted Soren Andersen (perlspinr) about this?  He has 
recently done a LOT of work trying to get ImageMagick to compile cleanly 
on cygwin, and has put a webpage with his built tips up on the web 
(search this mailing list's archives for the URL).

Also, your readme should probably credit him if it does not already do 
so, given that he's pushed a lot of cygwin accomodations into the 
official ImageMagick source -- although other changes he made have not 
yet (ever?) been accepted...

I haven't checked the packages themselves, since your URL is now dead...
