The original purpose of the -Z was to allow patching the autotool files
directly with the g-b-s, see
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-02/msg00286.html and thread for
details.

This is not necessary with cygport because the autotools are always
regenerated, and not changes in the generated files are not included in
the patch.

Did you find this particularly necessary somehow, and why?
