Cygwin packages
===============

I install those on more or less every Cygwin installation at some point or
another, so I thought it would be useful to make a complete list.

* chere (`chere -i -t mintty -s 'Open Cygwin here'`)
* cmake
* curl
* cygcheck-dep
* diffutils
* dos2unix
* gcc-g++
* git
* gnupg
* make
* mingw64-i686-gcc-g++
* mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++
* nano
* openssh (`ssh-host-config`)
* openssl
* p7zip
* patch
* python3
* rsync
* screen
* tree
* vim
* unzip
* wget

```
choco install --source=cygwin chere cmake curl cygcheck-dep diffutils dos2unix gcc-g++ git gnupg make mingw64-i686-gcc-g++ mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++ nano openssh openssl p7zip patch python3 rsync screen tree vim unzip wget
```

Packages I sometimes find particularly useful or even essential:

* autoconf
* automake
* bc
* email
* libtool
* source-highlight
* sqlite3
