Note that there are a couple of patches to the generic build script
floating around in the cygwin-apps archives.  Also, it might pay to look
at the sources of a bunch of Cygwin packages that use the generic build
script, and compare/extract the good bits/parameterize the differences.
I'm sure people (read: package maintainers) will appreciate a new release
of the generic build script, and it will also make it easier to eventually
switch to an RPM/dpkg-like model.
