First, the packages need to be renamed (note the '-' between 'pine' and
'4.44'. Otherwise, you have version #1 of the 'pine4.44' package, not
release #1 of version #4.44 of the 'pine' package.
pine-4.44-1.tar.bz2
pine-4.44-1-src.tar.bz2
Second, you also need to add openssl to the requires: line, because the
binary you include DOES need that DLL.
Third, /usr/doc/Cygwin/pine4.44-1.README should be renamed (add a '-'),
and /usr/doc/pine/ should probably be /usr/doc/pine-4.44/ ...
Fourth, you might consider installing the man pages into /usr/man/man1,
and other doco (doc/technotes/*, etc) into /usr/doc/pine-4.44/
Fifth, /usr/doc/pine4.44-1.patch doesn't belong in the binary package,
it should be in the -src package. Recommend just copying it into your
(already patched) -src like this:
pine4.44-1/CYGWIN-PATCHES/pine4.44-1.patch
and re-tarring the -src package.
And Lastly, it's setup.hint, not setup.ini -- and you don't need to
specify curr: 4.44-1.
Other than that, sounds great! :-)
