What is the actual version of this software ? A Cygwin package
uses the following format for package versions:

  A.B.C-D

Where "A.B.C" is the vendor version number and "D" is Cygwin specific 
package version. Let's say you want to package version 5.6 of some 
software. The first Cygwin package will have version 5.6-1. If you find a 
bug in 5.6-1 and fix it, then you'll release 5.6-2 and so on.

For more information on this matter visit this link:
http://cygwin.com/setup.html#naming

So, I suggest you to change the version number, in every place, where it 
appears, to match the Cygwin package conventions. Then we'll proceed 
further with the package review.
