Not really sure.

Well, the apps being built think they are being built under UNIX
and look in the ../unix location.
A more correct solution would be to create a ../cygwin/tclConfig.sh
and make all the apps currently using the ../unix/tclConfig.sh
cygwin aware so they know to look in the ../cygwin directory.
The real down side of this is that you've got to make
at least expect (maybe dejagnu and some other Tcl dependent
binutils apps) cygwin aware.
What are your feelings on VC++ vs gcc for building SN?
I'm left with the distinct impression building gcc
would be easier, but then again, I'm just talk about
compiling, I've yet to get it to run.
Ian.
