I have it in dbmi_base and sqlp also, and display/drivers/lib

Additionally, it seems necessary to add the path to GISLIB to db/base

I could maybe send patches ... but I don't have cvs access from work
(only from home over dialup) which makes it a bit more difficult.

No, it's empty, even though "Cygwin environment" is found.

That would be nice, I really only need enough for v.net.path and r.what
and a few similar tools.

I have X11 and tcltk enabled at present ...

OK, I will try ...

The first problem is there is no USE_OPENGL in include/config.h.in, and
with it, configure doesn't do anything useful (#define USE_OPENGL for
instance) with it. I don't have a working autoconf, so haven't been able
to fix configure.in.

So far, only lib/ogsf needs this, I'll probably find some more when I
get back from lunch ...

Finally, I don't know if there are problems with LD_LIBRARY_PATH on
Cygwin, but I needed to add $GISBASE/lib to $PATH in order for the html
doc extraction to work.

Buchan
