Hmm...  I missed that.

You could try it now I suppose.  It should work from either.

I'm not upset just perplexed and trying to figure out the scenario.  If
it isn't working something's broke somewhere.

Wait, you're doing a configure prior to the make clean.  That could be
the problem since the initial Cygwin makefile is a special make run that
establishes the makefiles for the subdirectories.  You should try moving
the `make clean' before the configure and see if that helps.
