[Xastir] Xastir 1.9.1 on cygwin_nt-5.1

[Bernard Tyers]

Hi Curt,

Alex sorted out the problems..

TBH, I don't want to have to install an Ubuntu VMWare machine (which  
will probably run like a dog on the mini-itx machine with 256MB its  
running on).

The other reason is I have to use the windows machine for other radio  
software that is not available for Mac/Linux (read 99% of all radio  
software).

MS Virtual PC only runs on Intel x86 CPUs (or at least did when I  
last looked). The CPUs in these mini-itx machines are EPIA Via chips.

So, I'll stick with cygwin for the moment.

It works perfectly..just configuring it now.

thanks again.
