Well, I copied the text from the homepage, so it seems to be 
inconsistent. AFAIK the code has been forked and enhanced/patched and 
something merged back, but just to be sure I'll ask the authors what 
they would prefer as description.

Renamed.

I updated the neomutt.cygport file and passed all parameters as 
described in [1], I'm unsure if localstatedir and infodir are really 
supported since they do not appear in the "Makefile.autosetup" file (but 
they do appear in the "system.ctl" file...).

I'll need to investigate it, maybe neomutt defaults are the same with 
those required (for example, the default for mandir seems to be the same 
as the required path), or maybe they are not used at all.
