Fixed.

I never changed anything in this department. I'm just repackaging 
mlcscope and applying the patch to change cscope: to mlcscope: in the 
output. I don't understand why this is working differently for you now.

Have removed the empty dirs.

Oh stupid me. Fixed.

Fixed.

I created a  
usr/src/mlcscope-14.1.8-1/CYGWIN-PATCHES/mlcscope-14.1.8.README file 
with the build instructions and some info about what the patch does.

I am not trying to package the sourceforge version of cscope. I am 
packaging the Lucent version of mlcscope. Given the state of the source 
package from Lucent, I do not think that cygport is sufficent. For 
example, it can't automatically change the source to output mlcscope as 
the program name, and delete the cscalls and cscope man pages as you 
requested.

I tried using cygport on mlcscope:

$ cat mlcscope-14.1.8.cygport
DESCRIPTION="developer's tool for browsing source code"
HOMEPAGE="http://www1.bell-labs.com/project/wwexptools/cscope/";
SRC_URI="http://www1.bell-labs.com/cgi-user/wwexptools/gensnapshot/i686-pc-cygwin/cscope.tar.gz";

This is why I creating my own packaging script for mlcscope. For me, 
creating my own packaging script was easier than repackaging the source 
so that cygport worked. I'm sure cygport works great for sourceforge 
cscope, but that is not what I'm porting, and offering to become the 
maintainer of at this time. Maybe I can take on that challenge at a 
later date.

I have updated the packages on the website if you could find the time to 
take another look.

Cheers
Dave
