It's no problem for me if the package name is mhash.

I think I will do the following: package mhash-0.8.18.tar.gz containing 
libmhash as cygwin package "mhash", package libmcrypt-2.5.7.tar.gz as cygwin 
package "libmcrypt" and - if I find the time - also package the mcrypt 
command line utility as a separate package "mcrypt".

Greetings,
Stefan
