Yes.
That is a problem with head(.exe) on cygwin, i install perl always in 
the second row, put /bin in the beginning of the PATH, so head.exe is 
first if configure is going to use it. 
Other possibility is, move head.exe out of the way and install libwww,
just make sure, /usr/local/bin or were head.exe lives is in PATH before 
HEAD of libwww.
