Hello,

I am not sure who to send this patch to since there are multiple
mlib_devel github repositories, so I thought a general email would be
better.

The latest version of CASPER tools fail in the last stages with a
cryptic error message. I have tracked it down to a problem in
gen_xps_files.m wherein if you have a windows system with Cygwin
installed, it assumes it is a unix-like OS, and then fails to run some
bat files.

Attached is a simple patch to gen_xps_files.m. Hope this helps someone.

Gopal
