By the way, when I try to build it says Automake 1.10a is required.
However, this version isn't
an option under cygwin, only 1.10.3, 1.10.2, etc.  How do I fixed this, hack
configure.ac?

Okay, so I get the general idea.  First you get the cygwin-src package.
Unpack it and run cygport on the coreutils-7.0-2.cygport file with download
option.  This downloads the original gnu package and applies the two patch
files.  coreutils-7.0-2.src.patch and coreutils-7.0-2.cygwin.patch.  I
assume the second patch is for cygwin specific files that aren't present in
the orginal gnu package -- is this correct?

Then you continue with cygport coreutils-7.0-2.cygport prep ... etc

Am I missing anything?

Folks,

Of course I can try to figure it out myself, but I wonder if anyone can give
me a quick pointer on how to build core cygwin packages which only provide
patch files over the orginal GNU source.

For eample coreutils-7.0-2-src.tar.bz contains: 

coreutils-7.0-2.cygport
coreutils-7.0-2.cygport.sig
coreutils-7.0-2.cygwin.patch
coreutils-7.0-2.cygwin.patch.sig
coreutils-7.0-2.src.patch
coreutils-7.0-2.src.patch.sig
coreutils-7.0.tar.lzma
coreutils-7.0.tar.lzma.sig

I got the coreutils-8.2.tar.gz for gnu.org and I assume I apply to stuff
above to it.  But how is that done?  There isn't a makefile.  Is it done
manually?  I assume they is a automated method but it isn't obvious what it
is.

Regards,  Neil
