I've used the debian package ad it is a package that contains everything for creating the cygwin package (source+config), and provides a versioned source. The URL you suggested is only the source file, and to be honest I do not know how to write the corresponding cygport file. It also does not seem to be versioned. Thus I would prefer to use the Debian source if it is not an issue. I'll try removing the variables you mentioned.
