Ok, I understand where you're coming from.  What we have works fine, through
we've not played around with Kerberos.  I've created a new "CygwinMSVC"
entry in Configure which uses enough of the Cygwin entry to integrate with
the rest of the build framework, but uses a SYSNAME of WIN32 (not CYGWIN32)
and sets other defines such as DSO_WIN32 so that it picks up the
Microsoft-specific stuff.

Since the cygwin environment is different from the MS Run Time environment,
I would not make the assumption that the binaries produced use exactly the
same configuration options.  They may but I would not count on it.

I understand what you are attempting to do; I just do not know if the
results will be the same.  I know that with other packages such as Kerberos
you absolutely do not get the same result when building under cygwin because
the environment is more Unix like and therefore different assumptions are
made.
