Comment:

 I'm pushing this over to Component:Packaging. According to the
 [http://cygwin.com/setup.html#naming cygwin package guide] the '''-N'''
 syntax is the ''package-version'', which may also be thought of the as the
 ''osgeo4w version'',  while the `1.1.1` (and variants) syntax is the
 upstream or vendor version number.

 Assuming I've read the history correct, in the case of liblas the package
 should be "liblas-1.2.1'''-1'''.tar.bz2" as this is the first o4w release
 of the 1.2.1 lidas library.

 The fact that setup.exe installed this non-standard package name anyway is
 probably a bug, and more importantly `osgeo4w-regen.sh` should test for
 this too. I've adjusted this issue accordingly; change it back if you
 disagree :)

 I'll document the naming convention in PackagingInstructions.
