I've modified cygwin's setup.hint to force it to be added as a
dependency for every package and modified the setup.hint for base-passwd
and base-cygwin to avoid the auto-dependency.
(I also once again found a bug in upset's auto dependency handling)
setup.log.full seems to confirm that things are now run in the correct
order.
Although I still think that relying on cygwin is not strictly correct, I
think this might ensure the right package ordering going forward.
