TeXworks and hunspell

To complete the process of modernizing Cygwin's TeX programs, I am
thinking about ITPing TeXworks. I've built it using the .cygport file
from Ports. I have two questions for Yaakov.
1. The manual (which is supposed to be available from the Help menu)
doesn't get installed. Having never before built a package that uses
qmake, I'm not sure how to make this happen. I see in TeXworks.pro the
lines
manual.files = manual/*
manual.path = $$TW_HELPPATH
which I would think should take care of this, but it doesn't. Do you
know how to fix this?
2. TeXworks requires hunspell. Are you interested in moving this into
the distro? I suppose I could ITP that also, but I don't really know
anything about it, so I'm not the best person to be its maintainer.
BTW, I built hunspell using your .cygport, and cygport warned me that
the following three scripts didn't get packaged:
usr/bin/affixcompress
usr/bin/makealias
usr/bin/wordforms
Was this deliberate or just an oversight?
