[AWS] Trouble compiling AWS on WinXP

[Sam Colwell]

Pascal,

Because this appears to be an issue between Cygwin 1.7.1 and GNAT GPL, 
I've asked for help from the AdaCore folks (I'm part of their academic 
alliance).  If I get stuck there, I'll move on to asking the Cygwin 
folks.  I don't believe I need any more help from you on this particular 
subject.  Just be aware that, at the moment, the newest version of GNAT 
GPL does not appear to run under the newest version of Cygwin.

When I get this figured out, I will post the solution to the 
AWS mailing list so others will have a reference if they experience this 
problem and stumble upon the thread in the AWS mailing list.  Thanks for 
prodding me in the right direction to figure out where the issue is.

I was able to locate a machine with Cygwin 1.5.x on it, and gnatmake 
appears to work fine there, so I will try to use that machine to compile 
AWS.
