It would be good if some other people who use cygwin could try.
What should they do in order to test your packages?

You mean guile-doc?

The X libraries are also needed for building TeXmacs.

netbpm: (r)

If, for some reason, you do not want to perform a complete installation,
then you should make sure that you install at least the following
packages: gcc, make, tetex, tetex-devel, texmf, XFree86-base,
XFree86-prog, ghostscript-x11 and all Guile packages (guile, guile-devel,
guile-doc, libguile12 and libguile14). You probably also want a decent
window manager like openbox or WindowMaker.

So you will also need

        gcc     (b)

I don't know whether you may add suggestions in the dependencies too.
