gEDA-dev: Cygwin port

Hi Carlos and Cesar (and all),

	I have nothing against re-enabling the cygwin port.  I did
disable it because there were problems in the past, but they were
addressed with patches like this.

	Cesar Strauss was the originator and/or creator of the cgwin
binary packages on the gEDA website.  Cesar do you have a more recent 
patch or patches for the work that you did for cygwin?  Doesn't have to
be perfect, but I would like to get gEDA/gaf working out of the box under
cygwin and at some point get the mingw port functional too.

PS. Note, I'm quite interested in getting gEDA/gaf building and running under
    cygwin and/or mingw, however, I am not volunteering to create or maintain
    the ports.  That's latest position. :-)
