I can't get it the msys (README.MinGW) instructions to work on my Win98 
machine (I get numerous problems compiling and installing the 
libraries). I have to use the cygwin instructions (README.cygwin). Even 
then I can't get gui programs to start up.

When I start a gui program (after starting gdomap and gdnc), the program 
complains that it can't contact the gdnc server and tries to start it, 
but hangs indefinetly. Most often I find that both the gdnc and gdomap 
that I started have been killed somehow.

I should try again sometime perhaps using some wisdom from the 
README.MinGW file.
