See attached cygport --debug ...cygport install log.

Running cygport ... install, src_postinstall under __prep_libtool_modules after
"Fixing libtool modules:" does not find dll in:

$ find wget2-1.99.2-1.x86_64/ -name 'cygwget*'
wget2-1.99.2-1.x86_64/build/libwget/.libs/cygwget-0.dll
wget2-1.99.2-1.x86_64/inst/usr/bin/cygwget-0.dll

so it loops on /usr/share/cygport/lib/src_postinst.cygpart:1297ff:

while [ $(readlink -f ${ltlibdir}/${dlname%/bin/*}) != ${D}$(__host_prefix) ]
do
	dlname=../${dlname}
done

until readlink returns root and just keeps on going, possibly because my Cygwin
home is a symlink to my Windows home, but this approach would have problems with
any symlinks along the path to the cygport dir, as $D is not similarly resolved.

I can wrap the other path in the condition in $(readlink -f ...) and it works
normally but this may not be the best approach here.
Alternatives, suggestions?

In this pre-package there is a check/test program and a DLL - is there another
package I could use as a template for how to split this into two packages?
