This might help: http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/index.html#cygwintimemachine or if that doesn't work out I could zip up 1.7.0 and put it on an ftp site for you. > > And Peter, what kind of make are you using?

I am using the make 3.8.1 from: http://www.cmake.org/files/cygwin/make.exe
I notice that there is also: http://www.cmake.org/files/cygwin/make.exe-cygwin1.7 but I have not tried it. I just downloaded it and it's also version 3.8.1.
