Pavel, Thanks very much for the feedback. Addressing the package naming issues and the way the patch file is generated should be done today.

My mounts are binary - the problem is that the original source (and working copy of the Cygwin port) are kept under Perforce, in a client that is set up to explicitly translate text files into dos style line endings on checkout. I'll have to think about the best way to deal with this, so fixing it may take a bit longer. -Samrobb
