Unfortunately, the local build under cygwin had more non documented 
obstacles than the student (and I) were willing to tackle. Some of the 
packages mentioned in the Cygwin README were obsolete, others were 
missing in the list. Although we succeeded to let autogen.sh run without 
complaint, it didn't produce a Makefile. So we scrapped the attempt and 
went straight for your windows build.

First impressions:
 
* The package installed right away (what a relief). 

* pcb complains about a missing ListlibraryContens.sh but continues 
anyway.

* zoom does not work in pcb -- Neither with the mouse wheel, nor with the 
z key.

* How would a gafrc line to use the current look like?
In Linux I do
	; Allow to source symbols from the current working directory
	(define current-working-directory (getenv "PWD"))
	(component-library current-working-directory)
In windows, the geda parser chokes on the getenv statement. How would the 
gafrc file refer to the current working directory?
