Yep, I tried make and it didn't like and I realized I was in the wrong 
directory so I went up to src and tried and it still didn't like make and 
then I found the README which told me I needed to run configure.  Once I 
did that make was off and running.  

I may have found one problem though - I only ran configure at the top 
level and then it appeared that make runs configure in all the lower 
directories where needed except when it got to cygwin then it died saying 
no rules and generated an errno 2.  I cd'd to /src/winsup/cygwin and ran 
configure thinking that might be it and then went back to /src and ran 
make again and it seemed to continue.

Now however it has died again in winsup and this time looking at the 
config.log it tells me the following:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

Got any idea what I am missing and/or what I did wrong.  Thanks for 
helping me along.

Brian
