Folks, mozilla hasn't been ported to cygwin. Second, there's no evidence 
that n matrix is actually trying to build a cygwinized mozilla.

AFAICT, n matrix is just spamming random lists for help with his "problem" 
-- he sent an identical message for help building mozilla to the XEmacs-nt 
mailing list.

Recommend ending this thread unless nmatrix explains how his problem 
relates to cygwin.  (Or XEmacs <g>)
