They won't show up like that once installed.

Not currently, PTC.

That's because you are still overriding CFLAGS with := (the first
time).

The correct value is:

SRC_URI="
https://github.com/${NAME}/${NAME}/archive/${VERSION}/${NAME}-${VERSION}.tar.gz
"

SRC_URI="https://github.com/${NAME}/${NAME}/archive/${VERSION}/${NAME}-${VERSION}.tar.gz"

With your Makefile creating that file name instead of -src.tar.bz2.

Only because of how you handle your cygport build, which is *much* more
complicated than it should be.

Actually, it's a side-by-side assembly under $WINDIR/WinSxS/ on Win7
x64.  In any case, that can be ignored.

That was years ago.  The cygwin dependency can and should be listed
nowadays.

mintheme has a /bin/sh shebang.

Ugly.  Let cygport do this for you.
