You have not only installed VS10 in a non-standard location, you have 
also installed Cygwin in a non-standard location. :-) (Default is 
C:\Cygwin). This is what fooled the configure scripts, which tries to 
distinguish between the link.exe from cygwin and link.exe from VS.

I have just pushed a change in the build-infra repo that are intended to 
solve this. I'm not quite sure how it works out in your environment. I'd 
appreciate if you could take the time to try it out!
