Seems reasonable but I've been removed from development for some time.

One thing to keep in mind, our scripts assume a GNU environment.
Shouldn't be a problem with Cygwin but it will be with Darwin.  The
simple solution is to add CoreUtils and others to your path.
Unfortunately, that breaks ./configure because of a uname
incompatibility (I think).  In the end, it was easier to install
ubuntu on my ibook.
