Re: New pretest

Tried to build GNU Emacs 21.2.95.1 under Windows 2000 (Cygwin)
unsuccessfully.  Not sure if it is pilot error or not.  Unpacked, tried
to run ./configure which didn't work (ok), read etc/machines then read
nt/INSTALL, left bash, went to NT directory and ran configure.bat,
appeared to worked, then ran make, which failed on the first file.  Here
is the session.

I have no clue whether I have the Mingw binaries or not, and I am unsure
exactly what version Cygwin I'm running (and I'm not sure how I can
tell).

Any questions or info you need, let me know.
