On linux it is working great, on Cygwin is a whole other issue.

I am unable to get it to compile it on WindowsME.  Miniperl segfaults
through the entire testsuite.  Since the provided binary crashes
autoheader, I'm basically out of luck?

Also, the configure script is picking up mkfifo(), even though mkfifo
isn't implemented for cygwin.  Dunno if this causes issues for
anyone.

Well I'll let you know if I can figure out what's going on.  However,
you might want to ask Pierre to try it out on his WinME machine to
see if the problem exists outside of my particular configuration.

Cheers,
Nicholas
