Heh, that's true, although there is a handy trick for the package search:
since cygwin runs on windows, all executables use the ".exe" ending in cygwin
packages. Compare:
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=as
Cygwin Package List
Search Results
Found 755 matches for as.
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=as.exe
Cygwin Package List
Search Results
Found 8 matches for as.exe.
And the answer is that as is the GNU assembler, and it is part of the
binutils package, which lives under the 'Devel' category in setup.
Thanks for this! That trick is so handy in my opinion so it ought to be
as a tip on the search page right under the search box!
