Not really a cygport option, but a side-effect of $pkg_contents getting
expanded into the command line of (GNU) tar which then interprets the
--exclude directive.

The above gets the job done, but I'm not sure that it is "officially
sanctioned".

It is, and I use it myself all the time. I have added a mention thereofto the docs in git master.
