Patch 1.6.94 to make on Windows with Cygwin


For folks who want to build under Windows, until the Ant build is ready 
(which may be a little while yet), I suggest Cygwin.  Attached is a patch 
for the 1.6.94 distribution.  You will need to have automake (which needs 
Perl 5) installed (which I think the default Cygwin setup does).

After applying the patch, do: automake; ./configure --prefix=/somewhere; 
make; make check; make install.

I'm not totally sure this is working perfectly since I saw a ClassNotFound 
exception for make within gnu/commonlisp/lisp.

I know there is a way to get configure to deal with these Cygwin 
differences, but I would rather get Ant working than figure that out.  Also 
there is a note in Make-rules on what I change to use Jikes built for Cygwin.

Eventually there will be a way to use Java as a normal Cygwin application, 
but for now this isn't too terribly painful.
