I have not been able to track any reverse-dependency info for the
cygwin package, so I don't know if it is randomly missing from the
reporter's local install or not included in a standard minimal cygwin +
grass install. Do other cygwin users reading this have it installed? I
doubt many folks would have installed the package manually.

ie there comes a point where we could put dozens of packages in the
setup.ini file to work around omissions in the require info of
dependent packages, ....


we already require libncurses8, presumably that should cross-depends
with the ncurses package somehow. For now I've included both.
