  Heh, that's true, although there is a handy trick for the package search:
since cygwin runs on windows, all executables use the ".exe" ending in cygwin
packages.  Compare:

http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=as
Cygwin Package List
Search Results
Found 755 matches for as.


http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=as.exe
Cygwin Package List
Search Results
Found 8 matches for as.exe.


  And the answer is that as is the GNU assembler, and it is part of the
binutils package, which lives under the 'Devel' category in setup.


    cheers,
