Do you mean the offical SQLite "amalgamation" tarball, or are you trying 
to rebuild my just-released 3.7.16.2-1 source tarball on 64-bit Cygwin?

My Cygwin 64 installation is fresh as fresh can be.  I installed it for 
the first time yesterday, specifically because I'd finally gotten around 
to trying to build my packages under it.  Any chance you've been doing 
some tweaks to your installation which I don't have yet?

Thanks, that does indeed fix it.

Thanks also for writing a proper manual.  The last time I checked, 
Cygport's documentation was limited to the README file.  I didn't notice 
the manual until I started grepping for WANT_AUTOMAKE in /usr/share/cygport.
