I would like to suggest to add a static archive to allow building statically linked binaries and for consistency with other devel packages.There are cygwin itself, most X libraries, apr / apr-util, aspell, atk, audiofile, glib, gtk, gettext, gmp, gnome, guile, pango and probably some more which don't include static archives. Do you really need the static archive?
I have included the static archive in the build now, get the updated package libxml2-2.6.20-2. Regards, Gerrit
