The source package is still not valid. Ditto, for the readme. Have you
read my original post ? There, I've put the part of the readme, which
is not valid.
Your source package does not conform to 'Method Two', though you seem to
be convinced that it is.
A conforming sourcepackage 'name-version-cygwinrelease-src.tar.bz2'
should contain:
name-version.tar.gz or name-version.tar.bz2 (original source)
name-version-cygwinrelease.patch (cygwin specific changes)
name-version-cygwinrelease.sh (build script from Charles Wilson, modified
to fit you package)
When the contents of such a package are extracted to /usr/src,
the user can go there and type:
./name-version-cygwinrelease.sh all
This script will:
1. extract the contents of name-version.tar.gz (original distro)
2. patch the original source
3. create helper directories
4. configure
5. build
6. create source and binary packages
With the source package for pdksh this is not possible.

Maybe you should do the same for the man page. Currently it is installed
as ksh.1.
