The thought was to replace a bunch of MinGW and MSYS hand
installation by installing cygwin and some modified build
scripts.

Should be do-able, but omg that's a lot of work to go through just to
(perhaps) save someone a few minutes. Of course, get it wrong, and it
takes them longer .... and only annoys them.

This wasn't for general use but it is clear that
it isn't easy or simple enough either.

IMHO there are still things that should be given a much higher priority
than this - eg pthreads for Win32 (which now looks like it might be
do-able), and the removal of the freeglut binaries from the OpenGL
source. (Easy for me to say, of course :-)

Agreed.  I've gotten the pthreads to build and run on
cygwin (provided I force the detection and use in
the Makefile.PL).

I added a couple of parameters in perldl.conf that
could be used to override/set the correct include and
library locations.  They are not being used yet.
