I stand corrected.  Copying sh.exe into c:\bin makes the difference.  Now,
if there
were some way to undo the mischief that John Davis did by putting #ifdef
__CYGWIN32__
into his latest code to prevent Unix-style configures and compiles.

Oh, BTW:  I think that the cygnus people overlooked libwsock32.a again,
seeing that
you get messages about socket functions missing under the slrn newsreader,
even when
the latest libwsock32.a and its -L/.... prefix are used on the link line.
