I would suggest to have a look at the 8.0 port currently available. Based on this you can analyze which changes were required for 8.0 - this should be a good starting point to adopt 8.4. In some cases you might be more lucky: Many software packages are prepared to compile using cygwin - running configure is sufficient in this case.
