I guess the problem is that javac, being compiled for Windows, expects DOS 
pathname conventions for the -classpath option, while the cygwin environment 
supplies UNIX-style paths. You could hack the MAKEFILE to either manually 
set the classpath to ".\src" or use the the cygwin-included function to 
convert UNIX to DOS pathnames (I think it is called "cygpath"). 
Alternatively, you could search for a Java compiler built for cygwin 
(perhaps the jikes compiler is ported?).

I am currently experimenting with porting the build script to ant, which 
would allow truly platform independend builds.
