+This is what [Norman Vine <nhv@cape.com>] recommends for general
+Cygwin development.
+
+Note: This will be a Unix like system and not a Windows IDE It is
+expected that the user is comfortable using a unix development
+environment, the gnu gcc compiler, and its asociated tools.
+Alternatively if you don't mind typing commands from a command line
+and reading instrunctions you should have a very good chance of
+success.
+
+1) Latest Cygwin release
+
+   Install the Cygwin toolkit by clicking on the "Install Cygwin Now"
+   link at http://www.cygwin.com
+
+2) Building from source
+
+   Follow the instructions for building on Linux.
+
+   <Note> 
+   Your OpenGl libraries will be automatically installed
+   and you can ignore that section of the Linux readme.
+
+Any additional questions can be directed to Norman Vine <nhv@cape.com>
+since he thinks this terse document is all you'll need. :-)

-This is what [Norman Vine <nhv@cape.com>] recommends for general
-Cygwin development.

-compiler and its asociated toolkit.
-
-1) Latest Cygwin release
-      earlier ones work but the latest is better by far and
-      upgrading is now just a one click operation :-)
-      http://www.cygwin.com
-
-      For version V1.1.4 ( current version as of 9/22/2000 )
-      after installation upgrade per these instructions
-      http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-08/msg00256.html
-      ( this will not be necessary for those using Cygwin snapshots
-        later then 08 / 15 / 2000 )
-
-2) a Cygwin compiled Perl
-      I reccomend the binary release from Charles Wilson
-      http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/perl-5.6.0/index.html
-
-3) automake and autoconf but you might as well pick up
-    the complete usr-local toolkit
-    http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/usr-local/index.html
-
-4) I HEARTILY reccomend installing this Win32 ( Non - X ) rxvt package
-    http://www.io.com/~bub/rxvt.html
-    to replace the command console
-
-
-5) There is a small problem in the stock OpenGl Distribution
-     I suggest you just grab mine from
-     http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/cygwin/cygwin_opengl.ZIP
-     There is some documentation in the included shell script
-
-======
-
-After installing the new Cygwin and support files
-You should just be able to do from a Cygwin bash shell
-
-cd to appropriate top SRC_DIR
-
-aclocal
-automake -a
-autoconf
-./configure
-make
-make install
-
-for what it is worth here are the compiler flags I have been using
-do this from bash shell prior to running configure
-
-export
-CFLAGS='-pipe -Wall -O2 -ffast-math -funroll-loops -fexpensive-optimizations
- -mpentium'
-export
-CXXFLAGS='-pipe -Wall -O2 -ffast-math -funroll-loops -fexpensive-optimizatio
-ns -mpentium'
