Do we need an update to the instructions to clarify that?

I've never built on Windows. However, I've heard (read) a lot about obstacles especially with Cygwin. So, I think it would help to reduce the gray areas.

I think I finally tracked down the problem w/ my Win7/cygwin
build problems. It was subtle.

I kept all my sources in

    /home/jim/src/asf/AOO415

that is, it lived under the cygwin file-system.

What I discovered is that the source actually
needs to live under C:, e.g.:

    C:/jim/src/asf/AOO415

which I can get to, under cygwin as

    /cygdrive/c/jim/src/asf/AOO415

If things like SRC_ROOT look like C:/cygwin/home/...
instead of C:/source/... then things will go wonky
