Notes on Building and Running on Windows under Cygwin

Cygwin is not fully supported at this time and the code has not been 
extensively tested.  Some functionality may be unavailable.

You need to install a number of the optional cygwin packages.  Just
use the cygwin setup program to select these (and take their dependencies).  
Please report errors/omissions.
