Also, take a look at the zlib package
http://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/cygwin/release/zlib/zlib-1.2.2-2-src.tar.bz2

It uses shtool for the 'make a symlink-farm to these sources because my 
package is too dain-bramaged to build outside srcdir' purpose.  (Also, 
lndir does the same thing as shtool, and is distributed as a cygwin 
package [xorg-x11-bin-lndir-6.8.2.0-1] which is similar).
