I assume you meant "Program Files" in your opening statement.  Your solution
works.  The alternative is to quote the internal paths with spaces or
otherwise escape the spaces.

More than "a few" packages in Cygwin Ports are not in the official
distribution. :-) They can all be installed with 'setup.exe' if you add the
path to the Cygwin Ports repository to 'setup.exe' though.

Permissions are more problematic on your typical network share.  If you can
avoid them, that makes things easier, yes.

Is it really different from the one on Cygwin Ports?  Regardless, if you
want to provide it as an official package for Cygwin, read through
<http://cygwin.com/setup.html> and in your ITA/ITP, just ask Yaakov if
he minds you picking up this package and its dependencies from him.
