latest lighttpd (1.4.45) not working on Windows 10 Home Edition

[Alejandro Benitez]

Hi,

I'd like to add more information to the report.

With the help of the IRC support channel I've managed to successfully 
run a build of a later version of lighttpd (v 1.4.52) which is the 
latest tarball available at

https://www.lighttpd.net/download/

with the following build configuration

`./configure --without-bzip2 --with-openssl --with-lua`

The build is quite identical to the Cygwin build; I did not have to 
tweak my configuration files and everything worked as expected, whereas 
the current Cygwin package (v 1.4.45) shows the behavior I previously 
reported.

Best regards,
