The cmake distributed with cygwin produces cygwin makefiles and only
cygwin makefiles.  It is unaffected by the change in make from 3.80 to 
3.81.   There is no such limitation, please don't remove cmake from cygwin.
Since that cmake links to the cygwin runtime it know about /cydrive/c and
uses it.

The change affects the microsoft build of cmake.  That build is available
on a separate download from www.cmake.org.  It has 
an option to generate "Unix Makefiles".  In the past,
you could use this mode to create Makefiles that would drive Microsoft's 
cl with a cygwin make.   This no longer works.   I am trying to figure
out if there is change I can make to the windows build of cmake, that
will cause it to generate makefiles that will work with both make 3.80, and
3.81 from cygwin.
