Jah,

Thanks for the tips.  I worked around it on one of my systems by doing:

$ ln -sf /cygdrive/c /c

which worked fine too.  But I wonder if it might make sense to actually
change the Makefile, because as far as I can tell, the current Cygwin
install/setup process doesn't create the /c mount point (although I
think it may have at one point in the past).  This might assist new
users trying to compile on Windows for themselves.

Any thoughts?  Does anybody have a Cygwin installation _without_ the
/cygdrive mountpoints?

Thomas
