Have you built ACE for Cygwin? You will probably need to regenerate your
make files; if they are testing for *.so, then they are still the Linux
versions, and it's a bad idea to just disable those checks!

The instructions for building ACE on Cygwin
(http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~schmidt/DOC_ROOT/ACE/ACE-INSTALL.html#cy
gwin) are a little out of date, but they might work for you. Note the
ACE build on Cygwin is experimental.
