Maybe the attached file will help some who don't work in the /src tree very
often.
I source the file at the start of a bash session and then use the cb_*
functions to do the work. cb_tail lets me monitor progress in another
window.
The functions assume that all the necessary directories (.../src, .../obj,
.../log, .../install) already exist.
I didn't create the functions until after I had already downloaded my first
copy of the source tree, so I'm not sure if cb_login() works.

Possibly because the step to Cygwin user is so low the additional step to
Cygwin compiler seems much higher. The only surprise for me was building in
a separate tree from the source, but that's probably because nearly all my C
experience in recent years is in Perl XS modules.
