No problems encountered while building the package from a tarball on 
cygwin 1.7.7.  'make check' had two failures (but not recent regressions):

FAIL: spencer1-locale (exit: 1)
===============================

Spencer test #164 failed (zh_CN)
Spencer test #169 failed (zh_CN)
Spencer test #184 failed (zh_CN)
Spencer test #519 failed (zh_CN)
Spencer test #599 failed (zh_CN)

Both are most likely due to locale support being incomplete in cygwin, 
such that zh_CN does not behave the same as on glibc.

And both issues where if we change grep to treat [A-Z] with ASCII 
semantics in all locales, where we wouldn't have to worry about 
differing locale collation support between Linux and Cygwin.
