*blush*  You're right, thanks.  The manual states that the paths given
to keepdir or KEEPDIRS are relative to ${D}, just like the paths in
the foo_CONTENTS variables, so I never thought of prepending a slash.

Another problem I just encountered is this:

OpenSSL cannot be built outside its source tree.  So my src_compile
looks like this:

  src_compile() {
    cd ${S}				# <---
    ./config ${CONFIG_OPTIONS}
    make depend
    make
  }

Now all the created binaries are in ${S} as well, of course.  This
results in an enormous src patch file, which doesn't make sense at
all.  Additionally I'm always building OpenSSL from the upstream
vanilla sources anyway.  So what I tried was this:

  DIFF_EXCLUDES='*'

Unfortunately this doesn't have the desired effect.  The src patch
is still big and contains all the created binaries as well.

How do I tell cygport not to create a src patch file?
