Can't build Xfree for Cygwin

[Brian Michael Genisio]

How are you building the code?  Are you editing any of the files for debug? Or
are you simply running the debug build script.  If you want a debug build, make
sure to use the standard extract from the tarballs (unmodified) , and run  :

./config/util/makeg.sh World

from the xc directory.
