If one should "always do it," then IMNSHO Xemacs should do it
automagically without being told.
Thank you but no. The level of packages and dependencies is somewhat
inaccurate and, worse still, doesn't really support home-built
packages...
Like the dependencies behavior in the newer Cygwin Netinstaller
versions, selecting a package for installation should select its
"requires". Unlike the Netinstaller, the behavior might be better
triggered at "Execute" time so the required packages don't get loaded
if the user changes her mind and deselects a package.
If you do add it, make it configurable. Alternately, add it and I will.
