Create a package alerting that some of the > functionalities are not aware? Don't create a package? Forget it? Many free software packages have to be adjusted to be used in Cygwin. Sometimes not every feature works. This is perfectly okay. If you think the version you have works well enough to be useful, and you're willing to maintain it, then yes, please go ahead and package it. You should start by reading https://cygwin.com/setup.html, as Marco said.
