Oh, right.  This is a leftover from fooling around with the cygwin
cygport settings.  Fixed locally.

Erm... you mean, no src_compile at all?  Just

  TOOLCHAIN_TARGET="i686-pc-cygwin"
  inherit toolchain

Fixed locally.  Can I do that for cyginstall as well?  For the lynx
package I have:

  cyginstall
  make install-doc install-help DESTDIR=${D} \
       docdir=/usr/share/doc/lynx \
       helpdir=/usr/share/doc/lynx/lynx_help

But it would of course be nicer to have

  cyginstall install-doc install-help \
	     docdir=/usr/share/doc/lynx \
	     helpdir=/usr/share/doc/lynx/lynx_help

(If you're wondering, the settings of docdir and helpdir are not
 autoconf'ed even though lynx is using autoconf for many years. 
 And the default settings are just crappy)

Well, I guess so, yes.
