D'oh, users download source packages from cygwin.com, of course.
I was confused by the SRC_URI= line in cygutils.cygport. Does that merely
indicate where this package came from at the time the .cygport file was
written, or does it denote a commitment by the maintainer to continue
hosting the package from that URI? If the latter, that's why I was asking
about access methods. Is SRC_URI required?
