Having got the superficial naming problems out of the way, I took a closer 
look at the source packaging.

There were many issues - the most serious being that the source package did 
not even contain the Cygwin specific readme at all - and many minor 
deficiencies related to using a home-grown build script, rather than the 
tried-and-true cygwin template.

I am sorry, but the conclusion I came to was that it would be less effort 
for me to produce my own packages of doxygen, based on the the 
generic-build-script, than to assist in getting these packages up to a 
good-to-go status.

Accordingly, I hereby ITP doxygen myself:
