The easiest way to build is using cygport - you need to provide only the 
minimum necessary definitions in your .cygport script, and run:

	$ cygport *package*.cygport get prep

to download and patch sources, and run:

	$ cygport *package*.cygport all

to compile, build, stage, and package for Cygwin.

To apply patches, edit sources under pkg-ver-rel.arch/src/...,
diff edited files against files under pkg-ver-rel.arch/origsrc/...
to generate each patch, and add to the PATCH_URI list in each cygport.
This allows you to reuse your patches on later releases, or submit them 
upstream, so you do not need to apply them to later releases.
