btw, if you happen to run into "*** multiple target patterns. Stop." errors while makeing, use the make 3.80 instead of the 3.81. It's not available on cygwin setup, you can get it here http://cygwin.paracoda.com/release/make/make-3.80-1.tar.bz2 , and just replace the make.exe with the one in the archive. shana
