Hi George,

I recently installed the latest snapshot 20060809 under cygwin and had
to do some adjusting to get it to compile.

First there is a bug report:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1541452&group_id=149850&atid=775997

with a patch file:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=149850&atid=775997&file_id=194444&aid=1541452

>From all what is said in that bug report the patch file is the one to
apply to the source.


Then there is another change that has to be done:
