ok, so unfortunately I don't have time to give a detailed report
right now, but can tomorrow (Wed.) afternoon

bottom line is that I ran into problems building and running
under cygwin - quick list of problems:

- couldn't get it to build with PDF support, even though PDFlib Lite
   is installed and I set --with-pdf=...

- went ahead and build w/o pdf, but interactive help isn't working
   (looks possibly related to line endings)

sorry I can't do more now - if whoever has been packaging up the
cygwin build doesn't see these problems, then maybe it's just
something I'm doing...
