[Doug Kaufman]

I looked through the INSTALLATION file for Cygwin and DOS. Here are some
updates.

 Cygwin:
-    It is possible to compile under the cygwin system, which will allow you
-    to use the configure script described above for Unix.  Type, for example,
-    "./configure --with-screen=ncurses --with-libz" in a Dos window running the
-    cygwin bash$ shell.  You also have the choice of using either pdcurses or
-    slang.  You will need a launch program such as sh.exe to call helper
-    applications. Paths may need to be in cygwin style, rather than Windows
-    style (e.g., TMPDIR=/d/cygwin/tmp, rather than TMPDIR=d:\cygwin\tmp).  You
-    will not be able to use the cygwin1.dll that comes with the standard b20
