Summary: Patch to compile on Cygwin (documentation fix)

Initial Comment:
This patch, based on patch no. 1463059 - "Patch to
compile on Cygwin", fixes an issue with the
installation and viewing of the documentation.

gschemdoc now uses the cygpath utility, if present, to
filter the file paths before calling the viewer.

Also, I added iexplore (Internet Explorer) to the
browser list.

As a bonus, I added some checks and error messages for
the "Browser not found" and "PDF Reader not found"
situations.

There must exist, however, symbolic links to the
browser and PDF reader in Cygwin's /usr/bin. This must
be done manually by the user, for the moment.

With this fix, gschem->Help->Manual and
gschem->Help->Component now work in Cygwin.
