Targeted at them because that's what I am these days.

I wasn't planning one for Cygwin users, but that's a good idea.
I'll volunteer to check it into CVS, but I don't think I can stomach
any more Windows time in order to write it up.  I have a hard time
finding a Windows box to test things on these days anyway.

So, the next series of questions are, should we:
1) Expand the README.Getting-Started document to handle Cygwin as
   well?
2) Expand the README.win32 document instead?
3) Create a README.Getting-Started.win32 document?

I figured we could add them as we come across them.  Better to start
somewhere than to never start because we don't have it all written
down yet.

README.Getting-Started is now part of the sources.  Checked in
today.
