Did Cygwin "setup.exe" prompt you to install the "gcc-4" package when you updated perl?

I thought "setup.exe" would prompt the user if any additional packages needed to be installed.

no. gcc-4, make and more are not automatically installed with perl. you will only need when you compile your own XS packages with cpan.

XML::LibXML is included in the new package perl_vendor


Since a lot of people are having issues because 'perl_vendor' is not installed when should, wouldn't be better to set perl_vendor as a mandatory dependency of perl so just everyone gets it installed? I guess package size won't be an issue.
