[Sorry if this has been asked before.  The mailing list search facility
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/) seems to be down.]

I want to rebuild the base Cygwin packages (currently:
cygwin-1.3.10-1.tar.bz2, mingw-runtime-1.2-1.tar.gz and
w32api-1.2-1.tar.bz2).  Where can I find instructions as to how to rebuild
them from their source packages?

Given the unmodified source files, I should be able to build the binary
packages such that the are the same as the downloadable binaries.  I'm going
to tweak the builds later, but first I want to prove that the build process
is understood.  Pointer(s), please?

Thanks.
