That sounds like a good idea to me.

It looks like it will work.  Thanks.

I'm also thinking about modifying the cygwin section to avoid adding
non-existent directories.  Moving this stuff to configure.in provides a
lot more flexibility for checking things.  Some of the directories that
are being searched for libraries and include files reflect old versions
of cygwin.  I think it makes sense to only include those directories if
they actually exist.

Thanks for cleaning all of this stuff up.
