Reminded by a recent request as to how to install
xorg-server-1.17.1-2, which
has disappeared beyond setup's ken (in order to determine if there
was a
regression in the curent version), this is a re-send of a patch I
originally
submitted back in 2011 [1], which received an ambiguous response then.

[1] https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2011-04/msg00053.html

This recognizes any "[foo]" line as introducing the information for
another
version, which doesn't have one of the trust levels [curr], [prev] or
[test],
and so isn't automatically selected when setup is told to install all
packages
at that trust level (by default, [curr]).

Setup already does all the neccessary sorting in version order etc.
to use these
additional versions.

[...]

calm now handles package expiry as of [1], so, pinging this.

As requested, resending the patch.
