Building with cygwin

[Kelly O'Hair]

OK. Humm...

I know that GNU make 3.81 has some shell problems with MKS, but I thought
cygwin was fine. And the problem was around the way the bash shell does quotes.

Can you try the GNU make at
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ohair/MakeBinaries/cygwin-windows-i586/

Which should be the same as: http://www.cmake.org/files/cygwin/make.exe
