I thought about this, but decided it wasn't important for end-users.
For anyone who downloads and unpacks a Cygwin package source archive,
the upstream source tarball will be present in the same directory as the
build script.
The people this might help is Cygwin packagers. But I decided they
probably already have read the writeup on cygwin.com, so it wasn't very
important for them. But I guess there's no harm in making the help text
available even if there's no source archive.
