[GRASS5] Cygwin build of Grass5

[John Huddleston]

Eric,

I was wondering when someone was going to get around
to asking me "how" it is done for Cygwin.  It's not easy.
I've added Gmakefiles throughout all my directory
structure and in case that doesn't work I have buildcyg.sh
shell scripts to allow me to remember what needs to be
done.

The latest Cygwin 1.1.2 is very much like "Unix" in its
operation.  Probably the biggest hurdle is putting all the
other public domain libraries and include files into the
/usr/local area.  See the src/CMD/head/os_specific
cygwin32 file.    Once those have been built the compiles
work OK.  The only other gotcha is that file names in upper
case are seen as lower case.

I offered to help Markus get the configure script working
and autoconf; however, I also am finishing up a PhD
at CSU in Civil Engineering.   I will have more time
after next may.   Concentrate on the configure script
rather than a makefile, then tweak the Makefile.in

I'd be glad to be a testing agent for now.
