I quickly put together a package for Ports which could get you started:

Check out this directory, then use cygport to build it. If you're new
to cygport, the package README is a must-read.
Okay, I'm having a go at this. cygport does look very nice indeed, but
unfortunately I got stuck anyway.
So I've got the following files all in one directory:
mintty-0.3.4-1.cygport
mintty-0.3.4-src.tgz
setup.hint
postinstall.sh
preremove.sh
Building the source and binary packages works, except for the following:
*** Warning: setup.hint is missing
postinstall.sh and preremove.sh do not get included in the packages
either. The cygport README tells me that those files should all be
placed in the CYGWIN-PATCHES directory. So I naively created a that
directory alongside the .cygport and shuffled the three files in there,
but to no effect.
I also tried copying them the to ${C} at the start of src_install():
cp setup.hint postinstall.sh preremove.sh ${C}
Alas, 'cp' couldn't find those files, presumably because it isn't run in
the same directory as the .cygport file.
So my probably rather stupid question is, where should I be putting
those files and how?
