Re: gEDA: building under cygwin

Not a test to see if everything was working - a test if guile is working 
properly under cygwin (Alex's comment).

I've run through about 3 test cases (examples on the network) and have found 
the only hard to fix problem being the shifting libraries names and 
footprints.

gschem, gnetlist, gsymbols, gerbv and pcb all seem to be playing nice.  pcb 
over tightvnc is a little rough, but I can live without that.
