DISTCLEANFILES is deleted immediately after downloading and unpacking 
the *UPSTREAM* source:

	https://cygwin.github.io/cygport/src_prep_cygpart.html#robo112

"A list of files to be deleted immediately upon unpacking sources, 
relative to $S. This is intended to be used with buildsystem-generated 
files which are incorrectly included in the source tarball."

DIFF_EXCLUDES is a list of files generated in $S not automatically 
excluded from the source package:

	https://cygwin.github.io/cygport/pkg_pkg_cygpart.html#robo384

"A list of file names, directory names, or glob patterns in $S which 
will be excluded when creating the .src.patch file. This should be used 
for files automatically generated in $S to avoid polluting the patch.
NOTE
Files generated by various buildsystem infrastructures, such as 
autoconf, automake, gettext, and libtool are already excluded 
automatically and need not be listed here."

Add to DIFF_EXCLUDES the names of any files you see after the output 
header:
