[PATCH cygport] Make src packages which put files under /usr/src/package-version-release/


>From a previous discussion [1] on this subject, it seems to be that if this is
desirable, then source packages should be fixed rather than working around
this in setup.

Attached is a patch to cygport to do exactly that.

I was also going to prepare a patch for http://cygwin.com/setup.html to say
that the source should be installed into /usr/src/package-version-release/,
but that is what the first sentence under "Method One" already says, and I
don't see anything else to contradict that.

(As an aside, how would a patch to move "Method one" and "Method two" to an
archive page be received?  It seems to me that they are not relevant to nearly
all new packages)
