The CygWin Installer seems to want to upgrade clisp to 2.33.1-1
which is looking for pq.dll, I manually "downgrade / KEEP".


Since CygWin has X11, could CLX be added to the standard
FULL linkset (It's that way in linux, right) ?

clisp is built with PostgreSQL support.

someone (seh?) already asked for clx to be removed from the clisp build.
go figure.

This is not surprizing.

The problem is with package dependencies. Sometimes, you want a
minimal instal with only the small but efficient tool (clisp) without
any bloat.

Packagers should do as with emacs (emacs vs. emacs-nox) and propose
two packages: clisp (with linkset FULL), clisp-nox (with linkset
FULL-NOX).

Yes, that's right. Cygwin /can/ have X11, but it need not. One can
choose many Cygwin packages in "nox" variants to avoid any X11
dependency creep. I was asking for CLISP to respect these choices.

clisp-list (gname.lisp.clisp.general) is what you are looking for.
(clisp-devel is, indeed, uni-directional).
