I downloaded your package and have a suggestion.
1- Install more documentation files. The following seem to be
important:
FAQ
FEATURES
NEWS
README.debug-levels
Maybe INSTALL isn't that needed.
Also, I don't know if the following are mandatory for a port.
1- You used --disable-nls. There are no translations and the
binary isn't linked against cygintl-2.dll. Personally I
couldn't care less since I don't use any and they waste space,
but...
2- You compiled it with a 1.3.x dll. strings doesn't return
_fstat64 etc. With 1.5.x it should support large files. I never
tested it for a number of reasons, like no available space.
BTW, I don't know if the following is a Windows limitation, but
I couldn't get anything downloaded with LFTP to store the time
from the server. I tested on FAT32 and NTFS. It does by default
on Linux, except on FAT32, where it behaves like in Cygwin.
I thought ftp:use-mdtm (from CVS) would do something, but it
doesn't, and from the name it'd only for FTP.
