[GRASS5] cygwin/windows port

[John Huddleston]

Mike and Andreas, (Grass list)

I've done the tcl/tk builds for Cygwin before so let me know what
I can upload to Markus' server. 

No fifo yet; however, others in Cygwin are working on it.  I was in
touch with Corinna over this topic.  She left it in my lap and I am 
finishing up my research for school so I have not had the time to
complete that code.  Do you want me to dig up the references
she sent me?
