I'm fine with the changes, barring Yaakov's nits. However, while we're at it shouldn't we change from "cygport is the accepted way to make Cygwin packages" to "cygport is the required way to make new Cygwin packages and the (strongly) recommended way for package updates"? I for one think it's time to switch to a single packaging method. After all, you don't have rpm packages in Debian or apt packages in Fedora. This will also greatly simplify to set up an automated build system for Cygwin packages at one point.
