The command line parsing in cygport would become a lot more complicated
for starters, so the syntax should be different.
But more to the point, some people want to do this on the command line,
while others do not. I for one don't want to do it from the command
line because I have oodles of packages that I build semi-automatically
and changing the commands issued for each individual package just
doesn't work well for me. So I do want this to be part of the file set
I commit to my Git repository instead (yes, if forced I could wrap
another layer of scripting or cygport patches around it). In other
words, in the end we likely need to have both.
A separate issue is if those things should end up in the package
archives. I agree that often they should not, so again my suggestion is
to record this simply in a separate file that does not get packaged and
(as outlined above) to provide means to create the same effects from the
command line.
Regards,
Achim.
