I would get someone to prepare a scipy.cygport file that documents the package
info, home page, upstream source archive, build and runtime dependencies, and
build process according to Cygwin packaging standards, and can be run by the
cygport utility to reproducibly build the package.

Someone could start with a copy of numpy.cygport, make the appropriate changes,
and post here for review and help.

If you can then get a python package maintainer to adopt the package, the
package will be available thru the usual Cygwin distribution channels.
