Another cause for such errors is that a .cygport file might have a 
REQUIRES line that refers to packages that haven't yet been added to the 
64-bit distro.  I wonder if cygport should issue a warning if there is a 
package listed in REQUIRES that is not installed on the user's system, 
just as it now does for DEPEND.
