cygport lua error (while packaging NEdit 5.6)

[Michael DePaulo]

Hi.

I am working on updating NEdit to 5.6. yselkowitz last updated it to
5.5-6 in 2013. I am not finished yet though.

Anyway, is line 112 a bug in cygport?

The line is:
lua: (command line):1: invalid escape sequence near '\;'

I ran into it when using this version of the cygport file:
https://github.com/mikedep333/nedit-cygport/blob/a9ffaac3f33a9d87144220bd8c5558ba9a094998/nedit.cygport
