Hi Mike,

I would be very surprised if this worked. 'configure' is likely to run the
compiler with unix-style flags (started with hyphens) rather than DOS-style
flags (started with forward slashes). cl.exe may accept only DOS-style
flags.

Also, MSVC won't be able to find Cygwin's include files, and even if it
did, most likely won't be able to compile them.

The whole thing sounds like a recipe for failure. What are you trying to
achieve?
