If they are just examples, you could install them as docs instead, as 
script dependencies under docdir are ignored; in the case of lftp:

cyginstall lib_LTLIBRARIES= pkgdatadir=\$(docdir)/examples

While there have been a few false positives, IMO cygport setup.hint 
generation has made for much more accurate dependencies overall, and the 
additional deps it finds really *should* have been there all along. 
That being said, please let us know if there are any specific dependency 
issues that you see.
