ok
Heres the complication:
Due to the stupidness of the FAT(32) and possibly NTFS file systems,
Configure.in will overwrite configure.in and will lead to some complications
when running `make config'.

heres what I did:
I decompressed it in Linux and changed the file Configure.in to
konfigure.in.  I then went through all the Makefiles and replaced Configure
with konfigure.  No change of code was necessary in any case.  The code will
still compile successfully under *nix, although for Cygwin the bind port I
put on the site will be needed as it puts a library into the Cygwin
libraries that is missing.

Its all pretty simple.  Thus it wouldn't be difficult to port 2.10.12
(unless things have changed that cygwin doesn't support)

Once I get around to it, I'll begin porting other versions.

P.S. Thanx for finding that counter bug.  I'll see about fixing it right
away.
