I used Cygwin 1.1.4, running Configure to let it make the makefile, then
running Make.  Of course, where B20 builds needed the CygwinB20.dll to
run, 1.1.4 uses Cygwin1.dll.  The nice thing is I only need one copy of
the DLL somewhere in my PATH, I put mine in the C:\ root.

Definitely worth your while to get the 1.1.4 package, especially if you
have a high-speed connection.  (At 56k it can take a while.)

Let me know, I can send you my build with a copy of Cygwin1.dll.
