Portage itself was already vetoed, as it would mean entirely changing
the distro management scheme, and Portage just isn't meant for only
building packages.  cygport is much simpler, doesn't require changing
the distro entirely, and was written with Cygwin in mind by someone
(namely, me) with a repository of 1400 Cygwin binary packages.
