Looks pretty much ok, except
- I don't like the versioning scheme. You should keep the normal Cygwin
subversion intact (counting from 1) and put the `pre2005...' string
into the main version, in a way which allows easy updates without
having to put "curr" and "prev" strings into setup.hint at some later
point. For instance
smartmontools-5.33pre20051115-1.tar.bz2
Accordingly in the source archive, so that the 5.34 release number is
not tainted. I hope that makes sense.
- The postinstall script copies the file /etc/defaults/etc/smartd.conf,
but the file itself is accidentally in /etc/defaults.
If you change this, the package is GTG, AFAICS.
