If it is interesting enough, or if you think it's helpfull at all, than 
I could send you the wrapper script, to sort out errors in the 
bootstrap, if there are still errors at all...

AFAIR it's gcc 3.3.3, but I'll look into that later. I tried to compile 
as normal user, because I don't know how to login as root or 
administrator in cygwin. AFAIK su doesn't work on cygwin, also chmod 
and some other stuff aren't behave like on linux :-( .

I was just curious about it, because I thought it's a good point to test 
the capabilities of the new libpano12 buildsystem on another 
environment. What do you think? Is it worth to look deeper into it?

Maybe it would be easier and better to solve this on the cygwin mail 
list? Wouldn't it?
