....wait-a-sec, kenlm doesn't generate LM's, does it? Then that goes under 
"running Moses", which is already pretty well documented. I'm not trying to 
replace the Moses wiki! 

I think the missing step in the Moses-on-Windows documentation is "how do you 
install the tools to generate a language model in Windows/Cygwin in the first 
place". In theory, this is not our problem, but you can't use Moses without an 
LM, so we might as well have basic instructions for it. It's possible that this 
is well-documented elsewhere, but I really haven't looked into it, and am 
unlikely to do so in the near future.

So to clarify: If anyone has experience regarding getting publicly-available LM 
generation toolkits installed on Cygwin, let me know.

Even for the last stable release of Moses? I thought that predates the kenlm 
release by a couple months.

Sure, here's how you compile KenLM and link it into Moses:

1. Compile Moses.

It's already distributed with Moses and compiled by default.  Further, I've 
received reports that it passes tests under Cygwin.
