cygwin compile failure

[Reuben Thomas]

I'm afraid that the head doesn't currently build on Windows; I'm working on
this at the moment. There have just been breaking changes, of which the
point at which your make failed is one. If you check out the source from
about a fortnight ago it's much more likely to work, as I had it building
fine around then.

I don't think that's true; no-one's told me this before, while several
people *have* successfully installed Cygwin in C:\cygwin. So there's
probably something else wrong that's giving this effect. I'd love to know
what it is. Can you give sample errors for this as well?
