[GRASS5] Cygwin build of Grass5

[Eric Mitchell]

John, 

Part of the problem is knowing what to check for in the 
autoconf part of the make process.  Are you building 
shared libraries (DLLs)?

Part of my Makefile strategy is to rely on generic rules
that are included from makefiles in a "well-defined" 
location.  I have fairly generic rules in there, but they
may need tweaking for Cygwin builds.  If you have a log
of the build process, I'd love to have it around for 
reference, to make sure my generic rules can be tweaked
accordingly.
