package conflict: cygwin and sunrpc

Both cygwin-1.7.6-1 and sunrpc-4.0-3 install
/usr/include/rpc/{types,xdr}.h.  Depending on which package is installed
last, this causes spurious compilation failures, because the two
implementations differ on whether they need sockaddr_in to be declared.
 Now that xdr functions have been subsumed into cygwin proper, is it
time to obsolete sunrpc?  On the other hand, libvirt wants to #include
<rpc/rpc.h>, which only sunrpc provides; is it time to provide that
header as part of base cygwin?
