Announcing your intentions here is all that really needs to be done if
you're planning on porting a package.  The "cygwin team" that I think
you're talking about is the people who are developing cygwin itself,
and need a higher level of communication.  If you're just porting a
released package to cygwin, all we need from you, really, is the
resulting tarballs.

Advice: check out the other packages and follow the same conventions.
Cygwin is i686-pc-cygwin.  Prefix is /usr.  Files should be
<package>-<released.version>-<port.number>.tar.gz (and *-src.tar.gz
for the source tarball).  Port number is '1' for the first port, '2'
for the second port of the same base sources, etc.  Use "gzip -9" to
compress.  Source tarballs should unpack into the same directory
structure as the original sources, which is usually
<package>-<version>/*.
