Thank you for the reply.  This does NOT entirely answer my question.

Step 7.  modify the top level makefile to install
CYGWIN-PATCHES/tex-4.0.README into /usr/doc/Cygwin/

How do I do this?

Also, looking in ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/incoming, I 
see files *.cygwin.BUILDLOG.gz, *.cygwin.PATCH.gz, *.cygwin.README, 
*.cygwin.tar.gz, and *.src.tar.gz.

Everything I understand except for the *.src.tar.gz.  Is this the patched or 
the unpatched vanilla version of the source tarball?

The web page says:
"Now, you've got 
  tex-4.0-1-src.tar.gz  
    the pre-patched, cygwin-specific source 
    code for the package"

How can it be pre-patched and ALSO cygwin-specific??
