cygport is happy with this. It reads ${top}/CYGWIN-PATCHES/README et al. and
installs them correctly.

However calm doesn't like it. From
https://github.com/cygwin/scallywag/actions/runs/18013629781/job/51252720116:

Creating source package
cp: cannot stat
'/cygdrive/d/a/scallywag/screen/screen-5.0.1-3.x86_64/src/screen-5.0.1/CYGWIN-PATCHES/CYGWIN-PATCHES/README':
No such file or directory

Note that calm is looking in ${S}/CYGWIN-PATCHES/CYGWIN-PATCHES.

Huh.

I think only anticipated this would be used with simple filenames, and that's probably all I've tested it with.

You shouldn't need to prefix the filenames in CYGWIN_FILES with "CYGWIN_PATCHES/". Does it not work in that form?

Maybe there's a bug here, or the documentation need a bit of improvement?
