Once again: Don't need help.

If you are thinking about maintaining a cygwin package then watch what
is being discussed in cygwin-apps and read the "Cygwin Packages" link on
the Cygwin web site.  If you have a general question about cygwin
packages then ask it.

I'm not going to be providing you with my personal insights about make,
however.
