Hi, Marco,

I retired from the lyx development team a few years ago and have
stopped maintaining its cygwin build. I have asked around but nobody
seemed to be interested in taking over my role. Anyway, if the 1.6.6
building is not working properly, I will try to update it to the
latest version in the next few weeks.

Bo
