Your setup.hint is wrong. Requires should not list cygwin as a
dependency anymore. And libgcc1 is missing. So it should read:

requires: libgcc1 openssl

Your binary package is missing the cygwin specific README file
(/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/httperf-0.9.0.README) although when I build it
from source with your build script it gets included, hmmm ??

Documentation should go in /usr/share/doc/httperf instead of the version
specific httperf-0.9.0 directory.

Other than that GTG.

By the way I would recommend the Method Three: cygport approach when
building packages for the distro. See http://cygwin.com/setup.html

For your convenience attached the cygport file for building this
package. It would have taken care of all the above aspects.
