(sorry for my English)
I wanted to do a compile how to for Cygwin.
Here is how to start :

1) Install SDK .NET (http://www.microsoft.com/net)
2) Download Cygwin installer at : http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
3) Do a default install, and add some packages :
- autoconf (3)
- automake (3)
- bison
- cvs
- gcc
- libiconv
- libtool (3)
- make
- unzip
- wget
4) Copy Cygwin/usr/autotool/devel/bin/autoconf into Cygwin/bin (erase
existing file autoconf 2.13 by autoconf 2.57)
5) Start Cygwin
6) Download install script at http://www.go-mono.org/mono-build-w32.sh into
Cygwin/home/%USERNAME%
7) Under Cygwin, write command ./mono-build-win32.sh

8) *BUT !* I can't go further because I have a compile error with
mono/metadata/socket-io.c
socket-io.c: In function `convert_sockopt_level_and_name':
socket-io.c:396: `SOL_IPV6' undeclared (first use in this function)

I've seen on mono-devel-list some messages about this problem, so I wanted
to wait a few days before publishing this how to.

PS: if you want, you can change it into good English and push it into
monobook (monkeyguide).
