Curiosity, how do we support CUDA on Cygwin ?

nvidia cuda toolkit is used in build stage of user programs.
Although this is not very desirable for cygwin package, I thought
that the advantage of being able to use the GPU was greater than
the disadvantage.

However, on the second thought, cuda support should be a separeted
package from the base package, and suggest installing cuda toolkit
in the install stage of of that package.

If a 3rd party driver etc. needs to be installed for a Cygwin package to work, we have in the past used the 'message' line in a .hint so setup says that when it is installed.

(Unfortunately, generating that line is not currently supported by cygport, I think)
