INSTALL.Windows wording suggests it's OK for cygwin to use /usr/bin/link. Is
this intentional?

Key: COUCHDB-733
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-733
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Question
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 0.11
Environment: Windows 7 with cygwin
Reporter: Michael Maguire
Priority: Minor
The file:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/couchdb/trunk/INSTALL.Windows
states:
47 You must check that:
48
49 * The `which link` command points to the Microsoft linker.
50
51 * The `which cl` command points to the Microsoft compiler.
52
53 If you do not do this, the ones found in `/usr/bin` may be used
instead.
This makes it sound as though which link and which cl *should* be the Microsoft
ones, but it's permissible to use the /usr/bin ones.
Is that the intent?
If not, can I suggest this says something more like:
53 If you do not do this, the ones found in `/usr/bin` would be used
instead, which won't work properly.
P.S.: I'm asking because I'm attempting to get the build going, and even
though I've done vcvars32.bat and 'which cl' is pointing to the Microsoft one,
'which link' is still pointing to '/usr/bin/link' and I need to know if that's
cool or not.
