@Daniel Reed: This refers to the version 1.0.3.3-1, links to the package 
are given in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-02/msg00140.html

Hmm, wouldn't the generic build script be the place to add functionality 
to remove empty directories? Doing it by hand adds work, and even worse, 
is a possible source for bugs, as a newer release might have actually 
files in directories which were empty before, and if overlooked, they 
could get removed.

rtcxr10 is a font for symbols, e.g. the euro sign €. The 1.0.3.2 version 
had a bug there, which is resolved meanwhile, so the verbose output 
below should stem from the last time you tried the old package. Please 
tell me, if you experimented this with the new version.
