[Mono-dev] Win32 build errors (recent change)

[Rob Wilkens]

i was able to build no problem on windows when i applied my patch from
yesterday

First when i installed cygwin, i put all the development software
(everything under i think it was devel)

See http://www.mono-project.com/Compiling_Mono_on_Windows - you also
need a path to an installed mono in order to build mono apparently, not
sure if you already did that or not - that's also described on that page
