You're right since the last time I did a "method 1" package the 
suggestions did change... and I didn't notice it.

Originally I was for method 1 but then Charles Wilson (if I remember 
well) convinced me that method two can be better in the way that it uses 
original package exactly as is and the patch is external and IMHO easier 
to read.
This added to the fact that having a script that creates automatically 
source and binary packages simplifies instructions to rebuild it in the 
README and facilitates following versions, once the .sh is already 
"customized" for the package and rarely needs adjusting (as it reads the 
version and release from its name itself).

But as I said this is entirely a personal preference, method one is 
perfectly OK and used by many cygwin developers.

Then we're sort of colleagues (or maybe opponent) as one of my addresses 
is lapo@m4d.sm 0=)
