Actually, regarding LADSPA, while sometimes used from within ALSA (which
is *definitely* not available for Cygwin), it is really fairly portable
and may be possible on Cygwin after all.  Stay tuned.

cygport is a package (and script format) that I wrote to simplify
building software for Cygwin; just about everything in Ports uses it,
and several other Cygwin package contributors use it as well.  You can
install the cygport package from the distro (in the Devel category), and
read /usr/share/doc/cygport-<version>/README for details.

If you want to build a package from Ports SVN, make sure you have
installed all the dependencies, then do the following:
1) svn co
https://cygwin-ports.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cygwin-ports/ports/trunk/(category)/(package)
2) cd (package)
3) cygport (package)-(version)-(release).cygport fetch almostall
