Also, as I pointed out below, there are two generic problems with the 
cygbuild script.  One causes the build script name to keep getting 
another copy of the version string appended each time the 'spkg' command 
is run, while the other problem is that the build script is called just 
cygbuild-x.x.x-x.sh, which will cause problems when multiple source 
packages are extracted to /usr/src.

The first email below is my generic review for several packages that 
have the same two problems as the last two emails describe in their 
first two problem entries.
