Greetings to you, Andrey!

Thank you for your interest in my message. I hope my answer won't
sound defensive to readers.

I read up some on cygport a while ago. My impression is that it makes
packaging apps in conformance with the standards of cygwin easier. I
don't remember clearly, but it didn't seem like a necessity for
building packages for local use. My recollection is that cygport just
automates the steps that a user would do:
    $PATH_TO_SRC/configure <ARGS>
    make
    make check
    make install

The point of the Autotools is of course to make source package
building work the same on every supported platform, and I have a
half-dozen Gnu/Linux systems as well as this computer running cygwin
on top of Windows 10, so I am a multi-platform user. I will explain
that, as I mentioned, "...re-familiarizing myself with Autoconfiscated
projects, primarily"; for personal reasons I ceased doing any sort of
work or play on computers for 8 years, resuming only about a year ago.
In that 8 years I aged (heh heh) and lost a lot of detailed knowledge.

I'll admit that I don't recall whether cygport patches the src for
you. I should find out since it would be a real labor-saver.
I will apply myself to reading the fine documentation for cygport. I
don't expect to have my hand held here on the list, I have been a
reader long enough to realize that repeating the same instructions
about cygport over and over is tiresome for the experienced readers.

I'm not likely to write "the next great tool" in C, as my C is rusty
as hell, and my main interests lie in using (and extending) Perl.

Andrey, do you maintain any cygwin packages?

  With sincere thanks,
      Soren Andersen
