Just a note.

A few GOTTCHA you should remember when compiling using Cygwin 1.1.8

rename /usr/include/GL directory to /usr/include/GL-rubbish
rename /ust/lib/libopengl.a and libGLU32.a and libGL32.a to crap.
renames /usr/lib/libXpm.a to crap

in Cygwin 1.1.8.  I have objected to Cygwin folks about including
MingW32 libraries of OpenGl and Xpm with Cygwin.  It creates
problems and you endup with undefined symbols [EMAIL PROTECTED] and breaks a
lot of application because these libraries are supplied with Xfree86
too.

After installing Cygwin/Xfree86, get the SGI OpenGL SI from 
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/cygwin/xfree/contrib and install it in
/usr/X11R6
