 don't work]

This is the symptom of no app defaults file.

This was actually fixed in CVS a few days ago to get PCB working under
cygwin.  Same issue there, the file system was not case sensitive.
My guess is it'll work now if you grab the latest CVS sources.  I'll
probably make another snapshot tarball in the next week or so.  There's
one bug I was hoping to have time to kill first.  If not I'll probably still
make a snapshot.
