Notice the additional lines mentioning Cygwin. Is it worth teaching
cygport to automatically supply configure arguments of:
--with-packager=Cygwin --with-packager-version=$PVR \

for packages that support this idiom? If not, then this email serves as a
hint for other packagers to modify their own .cygport files.
