I knew this would come up sooner or later. Guess it's time to get back
on this instead of getting distracted by other projects.

You're basically running into changes that I made to allow DGD's
makefile to run on Mingw/Msys. If you wouldn't mind, paste the
following four lines into the makefile inside src/, anywhere before
ifeq ($(OS),Windows_NT), and tell me what they print:

$(info $(OS))
$(info $(shell uname -s))
$(info $(shell uname -o))
$(info $(shell uname -m))

Any plain-text editor should be able to do the job (I use one called "Metapad").

Also, please ask the Cygwin mailing list(s) which environment
variable(s) are set by Cygwin itself to indicate it's presence, and
what they're set to.

This information will allow me to figure out how the Cygwin platform
detect should be implemented.
