MinGWports are, basically, buildscripts that download,
unpack,[bootstrap,] configure, make, install-into-staging-dir, pack a
particular source package (such as gettext or emacs) that was not made
into mingw-get-compatible package.
Some of them can be found at [1].
Note, that they aren't really any different from the scripts used to
build official mingw-get-compatible packages, so if you're just
looking for something to build upon, you can use those as well as
MinGWports.
