What does *this* mean :^D?

Umm ... is there a place where it says 'Here is how you build a Cygwin
package from the source archive distributed via Cygwin setup. 1. Unpack
the archive 2. There will be a script called <package><release>.sh 3.
Run this script with (one of) the followign arguments: prep , build,
all, (etc.) 4. Here is what each of the arguments do. ... 5. this
produces an archive, unpack this as follows.... 6. anything else.
Also I believe the following addition to the script would probably save
some people (like me) much headache ... suitably filled in where blank,
I don't quite get what all the different options are for.
