Did that and got an interesting, but different result. Patching goes 
smoothly. But, when I then run ./configure, it gets to:
   ...
   checking for ulInit in -lplibul... no
   configure: error: there seems to be a problem with the PLIB libraries.

I downloaded the stable version (1.6.0) and it builds and installs 
without a hint of trouble using the steps specified in the installation 
instructions.

At this point I seem to have autoconf looking in the wrong place for 
autom4te.cfg and the ./configure for the examples doesn't like the PLIB 
installation.

It is beginning to look as though I need to do a clean Cygwin install 
and build it all from scratch. Then again, that might just be the 
problem - my installation is clean from 1.6.0 and hasn't inherited 
debris left over from earlier installations.
