This list might not be complete - for instance 'clang' (and its 
sub-packages) are missing from 64-bit Cygwin, and they are also not in 
Yaakov's list. (I tried generating my own list, but my simple bash 
script didn't knock out obsolete packages and hence generated a lot of 
noise).

The converse is also true - there are packages in 64-bit-land that don't 
have a 32-bit equivalent - examples include hostname, libmhash2 and 
libturbojpeg. I've attached this list - we can ignore any package 
starting 'cygwin32', but everything else deserves some attention.

Cheers,

Dave.
