Now I wonder why don't you create an "official" Cygwin package installable directly with setup.exe? Whouldn't it be handy? Do you lack the "specific know-how" (in that case I could help), the will to manage yet another format or something else?
Both of those reasons. There are so many different OS and packaging system variations (Cygwin, Mingw32, Debian, RPM, BSDports, etc), that we must rely on users of those systems to contribute the packaging information for nhc98.
Anyway I'm (locally) trying to build a cygwin package compatible with Cygwin's specs, so that it could be included in the distribution... then it's up to you if you want to mantain it or if you prefer someone else to do it.
Thank you for the offer. If you create such a package for Cygwin, please do feed back any necessary changes to us, to incorporate into the CVS repository. We would prefer it if a regular user of Cygwin can maintain the Cygwin-specific package. If no-one is able to do that, then at least having compatibility with the Cygwin specs is a good step.
