I'd recommend that you do these steps.  It'll get more stuff running
for you:


    cd /home/<user>/src/xastir
    cvs update


View the README.win32 file.  Start up the Cygwin setup.exe program
again and enable everything that we have on our list of Cygwin
packages.  There have been quite a few added, plus the X-Windows
stuff changed around a while back.

After you get Cygwin updated properly, do this:


    cd /home/<user>/src/xastir
    ./update-xastir


That's a new script that does the whole shebang for you.
