This isn't helpful. You allude to a "correct Configure" line, both 
implying that I picked the wrong one, and that you know the right one, 
but that I should ask nicely to get it. The README.cygwin says to simply 
run Configure, and only makes the suggestion that to accept all the 
defaults, -de could be used.  And so... I've attached the output from 
"Configure -des" and "make -k".  You'll note that there are three 
compile-time errors. I can fix the last one "perlio.c:5059: error: 
conflicting types for 'vprintf'" by uncommenting "#define HAS_VPRINTF" 
in config.h. Perhaps you could suggest options for Configure that will 
fix all the problems. I'd like that.

Thanks in advance,

Todd
