[GRASSLIST:5272] mknod/mkfifo in cygwin

[Jaro Hofierka]

Hi,

I have installed grass5.0.0 using cygwin on MS W2000 Professional. I 
compiled the source code and everything went OK except for fifos in dev 
directory. Apparently, cygwin does not support fifos because
when I enter mknod ot mkfifo command manually I get "Function not 
implemented" error message.
So I am not able to start graphic monitor using d.mon command. NVIZ 
works OK, but rather slowly.
I would appreciate any hint on how to fix this problem.
