    if you use setup to install this src package, it will be
    unpacked under /usr/src automatically
  cd /usr/src
  cygport mintty-1.1.2-1.cygport all

This will create:

Port Notes:

----- mintty-1.1.2-1 -----

----- mintty-1.1.1-1 -----

----- mintty-1.1.0-1 -----
* Test release for 1.1-beta1.
* Now building with default gcc rather than forcing gcc-3.

----- mintty-1.0.3-1 -----

----- mintty-1.0.2-1 -----
* Dropped postinstall and preremove scripts for start menu shortcut
creation and removal now that mintty is becoming the default Cygwin
terminal with shortcuts created by setup.exe.

----- mintty-1.0.1-1 -----
* Dropped chmod on the shortcut, which doesn't actually appear to be 
necessary.

----- mintty-0.9.9-1 -----

----- mintty-0.9.8-1 -----

----- mintty-0.9.7-1 -----

----- mintty-0.9.6-1 -----

----- mintty-0.9.5-1 -----

----- mintty-0.9.4-1 -----

----- mintty-0.9.3-1 -----

----- mintty-0.9.2-3 -----
* Passing a cygpath-created path to mkshortcut didn't work when 
non-ASCII characters were involved, so instead cd into the start
menu Cygwin folder before invoking mkshortcut. This still avoids
mkshortcut stumbling over a symlink called Cygwin in the root dir.

----- mintty-0.9.2-2 -----
* Withdrawn before release.

----- mintty-0.9.2-1 -----
* Avoid mkshortcut's -P option and rely solely on cygpath to find the 
start menu's Programs folder. 

----- mintty-0.9.1-1 -----

----- mintty-0.9b2-1 -----
* Another test release.

----- mintty-0.9b1-1 -----
* Test release. Use setup.exe's new CYGWINFORALL variable to decide 
where to create the mintty start menu shortcut.

----- mintty-0.8.3-1 -----

----- mintty-0.8.2-1 -----
* Replaced test of whether the All Users start menu is writable from 
install scripts, as that can be wrong on noacl mounts.

----- mintty-0.8.1-1 -----

----- mintty-0.7.1-1 -----

----- mintty-0.7-beta3-1 -----
* Test release.

----- mintty-0.6.2-1 -----

----- mintty-0.6.1-1 -----

----- mintty-0.5.8-1 -----

----- mintty-0.5.7-1 -----
* Improved install script support for non-admin setups.

----- mintty-0.5.6-1 -----

----- mintty-0.5.5-1 -----

----- mintty-0.5.4-1 -----

----- mintty-0.5.3-1 -----

----- mintty-0.5.2-1 -----

----- mintty-0.5.1-1 -----

----- mintty-0.4.4-1 -----

----- mintty-0.4.3-1 -----

----- mintty-0.3.9-1 -----

----- mintty-0.3.8-1 -----

* Replaced readme.html with manual page. Thanks to Lee D. Rothstein for 
helping with that.

----- mintty-0.3.5-1 -----
* First attempt at Cygwin setup package. Thanks to Yaakov Selkovitz for 
getting this off the ground by adding MinTTY to Cygports.
