Also available in /usr/share/doc/cygport/README, and the full manual
from by launching or running:
$ cygstart /usr/share/doc/cygport/html/manual/index.html
but those, usage, and manpage all omit some options, commands and
alternatives, and do not state the preconditions necessary for
commands to work, nor that steps already completed are skipped if the
command is almostall|all.
>From the current source, supported options are:
--help|-h|-?
--version|-v
--debug|-d
--32|-4
--64|-8
and commands are:
downloadall|fetchall|wgetall|getall
download|fetch|wget|get
prep|unpack
compile|build|make
check|test
