On the other hand, maybe we could do a better job of documenting how to
rebuild a package from source via cygport.
And via git clone, please, because that's the way developers start if they want
to contribute to cygwin.
I still claim it's a bad idea to hide that script in a subdirectory; it should
at least reside in the top-level directory, so if someone sees a script
"auto..." there, it will be an attempt to proceed with.
The reason it's in the winsup directory is that the change has only been done
for Cygwin so far, not for newlib. But maybe there could be a README.Cygwin in
the top-level directory that calls attention to it, or an autogen_cygwin.sh script.
