That project doesn't seem to have been updated since 2003, also i don't think it was ever actually usable.
Theres not realy much point in porting a system like portage (i think the debian people also tried with apt) to cygwin since alot of cygwin builds require hacks to their code.
A more usefull idea would be a commandline version of the cygwin setup.exe utility with emerge like function, although i guess use flags and cflags with compiling from souce might be usefull, it would be nice to have a native x86_64 compile of cygwin but im not sure how much of the cflags stuff would work under windows/cygwin. |

Well, I would consider Portage on cygwin or even on msys if it would run on Reactos... the next big thing would be to make the Reactos GDI system also an X server, so it could be a true Unix/Windows merge... it would be a Windows killer, imagine using MS Office under KDE...
