CYGWIN32 is no longer a valid define to indicate CYGWIN. Use CYGWIN
instead. I remember, from ancient history of this list, a strong supporter of slang. I'm sure this was at least in the b19 time frame, if not
before. Unless someone else has been maintaining this port since that
time, I'd say the build instructions you have are a bit out-of-date. Sorry
but I don't have suggestions for updating the port, beyond the obvious of
course!;-)
