Re: cygport-0.9.3 in release-2

As I requested before at
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-09/msg00070.html, I routinely use
Charles Wilson's patch for src_prep_fini_hook()
(http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-01/msg00110.html), and would like to see
it included in cygport.

As I explained in the thread referenced above, src_patch_hook() and
src_unpack_hook() are not adequate substitutes for src_prep_fini_hook(), because
both of the former act *before* origsrc is mirrored to src.  So, using them it
is not possible to make changes to src independently from origsrc.
src_prep_fini_hook(), as Charles proposed it, is called after origsrc is
mirrored to src, so that I can patch src independent of origsrc, and the changes
are captured in cygwin.patch-- which is essential for creating a working source
package.

If you don't like src_prep_fini_hook(), then maybe src_unpack_hook() could be
moved down below the call to rsync, which would make it the same as
src_prep_fini_hook().

Thanks,
Andrew.
