Unfortunatelly it does not work :-(. Following the "getting started" 
trail I tried db init and this is the result:

$ monotone db init --db=$HOME/test.db

I am not sure why, but the executable is about 17MB big and gdb says it 
has no debug information. Is there an easy way to get debug build? Is 
there a list of main targets that one can build from the suplied sources?

I tried a couple of different locations:

$ ./monotone.exe db init --db=test.db
options path is MT/options
converting 2 bytes from UTF-8 to US-ASCII
converting 7 bytes from UTF-8 to US-ASCII
converting 10 bytes from US-ASCII to UTF-8

So I figured that there is something wrong with the path translation in 
the combination of cygwin and boost. Finally
$ monotone db init --db=/test.db
seems to work as it has no output.

However further testing revealed that the db was created at the path 
c:\test.db and not in the cygwin root. I guess those two don't really 
play along well. I guess the problem is that boost somehow 'knows' it is 
running on windows and does not use the cygwin layer for that. I'll try 
to look into that.

Creating the keys went ok. Adding some files too. However commit did not 
because the sources were at different drive so I had to move test.db to 
the root of that drive. I guess that after resolving the path issues it 
will work. I'll try the depot.cgi and network communication next.
