how to become a package maintainer?

[Sven Köhler]

hi,

I'd some more packages to be part of the official cygwin distribution 
(installable via setup.exe). These packages are:

libao
libogg
libvorbis
vorbis-tools
libavcodec
freetype
mplayer

i already found a freetype package by Gerrit P. Haase but it is not yet 
installable via setup (although Gerrit is already the Perl package 
maintainer as far as i know).

My current knowledge does not suffice to be abled to compile clean 
cygwin-builds. I get everything compiled together, but i have the 
following problems:

- how to install files with "make install" in another directory than 
root? i don't want to select all the files that belong to binary package 
by hand.
- how do i build DLLs? i could compile libao, libogg and libvorbis but i 
only get *.la and *.a files but no *.dll like i would expect. i thought 
that this would be managed by autoconf/configure somehow, but it isn't 
as it seems.
