Cygwin is not a "supported" platform, and I really discourage you to
compile Nessus with it. The problem is that once everything is compiled,
it will be _uterly slow_, as Nessus uses tons of fork() system calls,
which are emulated in cygwin by a very painful process and that end up
with a nessusd one hundred times slower, so I really suggest you have a
look at NeWT which, although being a commercial product, is adapted to
the Win32 platform.
That being said, you can easily override the bison/flex internal error
by precompiling the file under a Linux system and copying it over.
