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.
Though my opinion doesn't officially mean anything yet (I haven't successfully contributed a package yet, but I am thinking of packaging an AVR toolchain, using cygport... new thread forthcoming), I like this package. Bravo!
Cheers, Jason
