I would like to suggest that cygport implement a user-redefinable 
src_postinstall function to replace __src_postinst.

My immediate reason for this request is that I'm thinking about ITP-ing 
emacs-auctex, and I don't like some of the things that are done in 
__src_postinst when I build that package.  I dealt with this by removing 
the readonly attribute of __src_postinst so that I could redefine it in 
my .cygport file.

Ken
