I put this override.hint to my overlay package server directory and
ran mksetupini. But it resulted in error that mksetupini don't know
"cur:". So I changed override.hint as following.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
replace-versions: 9100h-2
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Then again I put it to the direcotry and ran mksetupini. This time it
succeeded without any error. But when I run setup-x86_64, anthy
packages didn't appear in Pending view.

So I gave up to use override.hint and decided to change version number
to "9100h+0.4". It works fine with all of cygport, mksetupini and
setup-x86_64.
