Because of this dependency line man groff perl
A base 64-bit Cygwin install now requires Perl. Can this be changed? While Perl is a fine language I hardly feel it is appropriate to add that bulk to a base install. Note this issue is only with the 64-bit version, the base 32-bit Cygwin install does not require Perl.
