Thanks Dave,
for the starting point.
I used that as base for the 64 bit package just released.

Removing the cygwin specific usage of
   cygwin_conv_to_posix_path / cygwin_conv_path
did the work. Make check passed on 64bit, and make doc fails
on a corner case, most of the HTML documentation was built.

The 32 bit builds but does not works. I suspect there is an additional
problem with the underlying dependencies, or we are triggering an
existing problem not visible on Linux platform.
