Suppose I want to modify and rebuild a cygwin package that was created 
using cygport.  I may want to install it in /usr/local to avoid conflict 
with the official version.  One way to do this (I think) is to add 
options like --prefix=/usr/local, --bindir=/usr/local/bin, etc., to the 
call to cygconf.  Is this the recommended method, or does cygport 
provide a simpler way to do it?

Ken
