If the Cygwin specific README is included in the upstream version and
the package builds as is I see no need to modify the original source.

setup.hint needs not be included in the sources, it also may be inline
in the README.  It is really just needed at the server for setup.exe.
I usually included it so I find it again when updating a package (I'm
using several different development boxes and I'm moving around a
lot...).
