Yes, there are problems.  Some of them don't seem so easy to fix.  But
while we are worrying about how to fix them, we can build a
sub-optimal Cygwin version of Octave.  If it is included in the
default set of Cygwin packages on the Cygwin web site, people will
have something to use that is up to date.  Keeping it current should
not be too much trouble.  It won't be perfect (we can work on that
over time) but at least we shouldn't have Windows users complaining
about the bugs in really old versions of Octave.
