[Mono-list] Problems building mono 0.6 under Cygwin

[Nick Drochak]

Mads,

Remove the libffi directory from your local copy and try again.  Something
in the build scripts try to build that even though it's not needed.

Miguel and Dietmar, et. al:  Can we get rid of this from the repository?
It's messing more people than just me.
