this in setup.

Attached is a patch to cygport to do exactly that.

The downside is, if you then rebuild the package like that, you end up
with /usr/src/NAME-VERSION-RELEASE/NAME-VERSION-RELEASE[.ARCH, as of
today's git master], which seems a bit repetitive to me.  What do you
(and others) think about making the "topdir" also the "workdir" if the
former is already of the form NAME-VERSION-RELEASE.ARCH, as per the
attached patch instead?

There didn't seem to be a desire to avoid the repetition, so I dropped that part and committed a simpler version of this to master.
