Indeed, Cygwin will always be *extremely* slow compared to Linux for
something like a package build.  But that has nothing to do with
distributing EMBOSS binaries.  (Except to make them more valuable.)

BTW, if someone wanted to a truly proper job of this, one could make a
Cygwin package according to <http://cygwin.com/setup.html>.  But I
doubt the benefits outweigh the effort, if you've only got a couple of
people using EMBOSS under Cygwin.

I'm sure the most useful thing anyone can produce is your "how to" for
building EMBOSS under Cygwin.
