I would suggest to have a look at the 8.0 port currently available. 
Based on this you can analyze which changes were required for 8.0 - 
this should be a good starting point to adopt 8.4.

In some cases you might be more lucky: Many software packages are 
prepared to compile using cygwin - running configure is sufficient in 
this case.
