Sorry but this list supports only the Cygwin distribution as provided by
cygwin.com.  So I see this as leaving you with 2 choices:

  1. Contact the good folks at webkit.org about this problem.  If you do
     so, you could also mention to them that the GNU license that Cygwin
     is distributed under requires that webkit.org make the source for
     Cygwin available as well.

  2. Install the packages you want from the Cygwin web site directly.

OK, I guess there's a third choice too... you could do both 1 and 2. ;-)
