Kind reminder of new package proposal:

Hi, I'd like to contribute a package with emoji graphics from the
Google noto-emojis repository.
There was some trouble with the cygport as discussed in another thread
but not it appears to be working.
... and of course I meant "now (not not) it appears to be working"
Attached are the cygport file and two scripts used for the build
process, which are identical to the scripts in the mintty tools directory.
If this package is installed, this enables mintty 3.8.1 to display
graphic emojis implicitly without further configuration.
