  * This section is not finished but does indicate some of the necessary steps.

      

  * Installing Cygwin

      Cygwin will give you a basic set of UNIX routines, such as ls, grep, etc., that run on Windows.  Included is a Bash shell run via Cygwin.bat or its shortcut, both found in the main directory.  Most other executables are in the bin directory.  Cygwin has been around a long time and is stable.  Installing it should not cause problems.  More complete information can be found on the Cygwin site, but this is a quick start guide.

      - Go to http://www.cygwin.com/, download setup.exe, and run it.

      - Select Install from the Internet

      - Pick a directory for the files.  C:\Cygwin is good.

      - You will eventually get a list of packages.  Use this to get new packages, update packages, or remove them.

      - You will probably want to put C:\Cygwin\bin in your path.

      - A useful tool to find what is needed for a build is cygcheck -p <regexp-search-string>.

    - gcc and Make in Devel
