The command line parsing in cygport would become a lot more complicated for starters, so the syntax should be different. But more to the point, some people want to do this on the command line, while others do not. I for one don't want to do it from the command line because I have oodles of packages that I build semi-automatically and changing the commands issued for each individual package just doesn't work well for me. So I do want this to be part of the file set I commit to my Git repository instead (yes, if forced I could wrap another layer of scripting or cygport patches around it). In other words, in the end we likely need to have both. A separate issue is if those things should end up in the package archives. I agree that often they should not, so again my suggestion is to record this simply in a separate file that does not get packaged and (as outlined above) to provide means to create the same effects from the command line.
