Regardless of libexpat1-devel supposedly being a bad choice of names, from the global distro perspective, it would be much easier to remove the libexpat-devel package from the 64 bit distro and go over the hint files manually for now.
Doesn't the problem fix itself for those using Cygport's .hint file generation? For those not using this feature, it would be a gentle clue why it's a good idea.
You'd have to fake a -3 package set, with libexpat-devel-3 set to obsolete libexpat1-devel-2, so that package developers would automatically get new packages on their next Cygwin update.
