I added this to your packages.

Build has been changed from autotools (no longer supported) to meson.
I would like advice on how to name and where to install the emacs files,
as the Fedora spec (in Cygport comments) desktop-file-utils differs from
our previous name desktop-entry-mode.
I'm not sure what the precise difficulty with emacs is here.
No difficulty: Cygwin puts the Emacs script under site-lisp, and Fedora puts it
into a site-lisp subdirectory desktop-file-utils, and provides a startup script
desktop-entry-mode-init.el under site-startdir which emacs.cygclass does not
define, nor Cygwin create - seems overkill for a script?
The emacs cygclass [1] provides some help with this, if the meson build doesn't
install things into the right place anyhow.
It does DTRT.

Should have been using that, so I'll do so in cygport.
Cygwin does straight ...CONTENTS:
usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/desktop-entry-mode.*
so if I inherit emacs and use $EMACS_SITE do I need ${EMACS_SITE#/}?
Maybe I can and should get rid of ...CONTENTS, as the original maintainer may
have been considering a separate subpackage for the Emacs script.
Fedora does:
# %{_emacs_sitelispdir}/desktop-file-utils/
# mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_emacs_sitelispdir}/desktop-file-utils
# mv $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_emacs_sitelispdir}/*.el*
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_emacs_sitelispdir}/desktop-file-utils
# install -Dpm 644 %{SOURCE1}
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_emacs_sitestartdir}/desktop-entry-mode-init.el
# touch $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_emacs_sitestartdir}/desktop-entry-mode-init.elc
