Dear self,
I've since discovered the prior discussion of Pugs under Cygwin so I
know there's probably not yet a simple answer but enough of a work
around to go forward (building and using Pugs+Parrot+... under Cygwin.)

Under Cygwin (bash), while building PUGS, Pugs' Makefile.PL (one of
its henchmen) needs an environment setting to say where a runnable
'ghc' can be found. I have GHC installed (in its .msi incarnation as
required) in c:/cygwin/home/me/ghc
I tried:
setenv GHC=/home/me/ghc/bin (where the full ghc.exe is)
Could someone give me an example of the ghc environment variable
setting for pugs building that they have used under Cygwin (or minGW
or bare GCC.)?
Thanks much, PeterS
p.s. I also tried every variation I could think of, of quoting, \/,
and /home/ghc/bin, C:\cygwin\home\me\ghc\bin,
/cygdrive/c/home/me/ghc/bin, ${HOME}/ghc/bin, and truncating
...ghc/bin to ...ghc without any luck. I also built GHC as a linux app
under Cygwin instead of via .msi. Nothing.
