Sorry but I have to be nitpicking here.
Could you please rebuild it using other paths?
The binaries are still in usr/local/bin whereas they should be
in usr/bin. The subdir `figletfonts' is in usr/lib whereas
I would expect it under usr/share. Look into the second point
of http://cygwin.com/setup.html#package_contents.
The sources dir in the source package is `usr/src/figlet22'
which is contrary to GNU and Cygwin packaging rules. Don't
prepend the `usr/src' path and rename the source directory
so that it's identical to the Cygwin version:
figlet-2.2-1/...
instead of
usr/src/figlet22/...
according to the forth point under the above URL.
The setup.hint file is ok, AFAICS.
