Actually, the generic-build-script template recommends this. Are you
proposing changing the template? Meanwhile, I've been sitting on this
patch to the templates:
2005-10-13 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
* templates/generic-readme: Add License, Language. List date
when releases are made.
* templates/generic-build-script: Fix typo when failing.
Maybe the patch should be tweaked to recommend "cygcheck -l $PKG" instead
of the current recommendation of an explicit list that is likely to get
out of date.
