See http://cygwin.com/setup.html#package_contents

There's a link to a generic readme for the cygwin port.

As you want. But you can take cygwin responsibility from me, if you want

And subscribe to the cygwin-apps list at cygwin.com

makefile.cygwin is not really elegant, but if the targets stay like 
this, it will not be worth the effort to libtoolize it.
