Actually, the options were from <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#SEC104>,
but as I now look at it, they are only --prefix=... and -v (or so I say
now; back then I was so configure-unwary that I didn't want to digress one
little bit from the prescribed track lest I be lost in mounds of gory
details).

I think mingw is optional.  Come to think of it, I remember Chris Faylor's
comment that he made w32api optional as well...  But that may have been in
a different context.
