I'm pretty sure it is not Cygwin-specific, but rather automake-1.10
specific, and depends on which version of automake you have installed.
If you upgrade regularly, you'll have this problem; if you don't,
you won't.

So I'd say: add to the documentation that Q will not build with
automake-1.10, and perhaps add a second copy of autogen.sh that has 1.9
hardcoded into it.
