Except as Conrad pointed out (and I should have known), cygwin uses
-nostdinc++.  So, in this case adding the -I makes a certain sense.
Unfortunately, it means that we'll be adding one of these for every
version of the C compiler from 3.1.1 on, which isn't right.  That is
for gcc 3.2, we'll need a -I /usr/include/c++/3.2, etc.

I'm not sure what the correct fix is for this.  The other problem is
that the intent is to ensure that the compiler used to build cygwin is
using the correct set of include files, i.e., the ones that may be
included with it in the source directory.  But finding the correct
libstdc++ files could be problematic.

So, for now, I guess the only solution is to add the path to the
Makefile along with a big flashing FIXME.

I wonder why "they" are making so many tweaks to the header file stuff
in 3.1.  It seems a little to severe to be part of a minor version
number release.
