  It's also wrong in that it's completely back to front: look closely at the
diff, and you'll see that the original configure script was looking for
"cygwin",  and it is the patch that makes it look for "cygwin32".

  Fung needs to go back and double check how things came to be this way
round.  In particular, bear in mind that "uname -o" outputs "Cygwin" - note
the capitalisation; shell string comparisons are case sensitive...

dk@mace /> if test "x`uname -o`" = "xCygwin" ; then echo ok ; else echo nope
; fi
ok
dk@mace /> if test "x`uname -o`" = "xcygwin" ; then echo ok ; else echo nope
; fi
nope

  According to the output from "gcc -dM -E - </dev/null | grep CYG", cygwin
gcc defines both __CYGWIN__ and __CYGWIN32__, but no form of it without the
underscores.  It may be the case that the configure/makefile is meant to
detect a cygwin build and define CYGWIN32 itself by adding -DCYGWIN32 to the
CFLAGS.  Or it may be that this is indeed a typo.
