Windows build

[Vlad Dumitrescu]

Hi Kent,

Thank you for the answer!

Could you describe very shortly what the problems are when compiling under
cygwin? What is the reason for the mixed Unix/Windows build? Only the
performance problem you mentioned? Other legacy issues (like maybe ClearCase
related)? Today's cygwin is a very good Unix emulation and it feels strange
not to be able to build something under it...

I will give it a look, but I am no make expert...

regards,
Vlad
