SableVM on Windows (newbie)

Hi

I'm one of the developers for the LGPL Flying Saucer project, a
pure-Java XHTML/XML/CSS2 renderer (http://xhtmlrenderer.dev.java.net).

I'd like to start trying to compile and run our code under
SableVM/Classpath. We have dependencies on AWT, as we draw to a
Graphics2D canvas directly; not sure how much of that code will work.
We currently use Swing for forms, but that should be pluggable and not
necessary for regular pages.

I am running Windows 2000. I have downloaded sablevm-classpath-1.11.2
and have Cygwin installed--but have no idea how to get started
(probably typical for a Windows user). The install instructions say to
run "configure" to start, but under the Cygwin console, configure
isn't recognized as a script. ("bash: configure: command not found")
Also tried renaming it to configure.sh but that didn't help.
Sorry--has been awhile since I used UNIX-like tools.

Any help or pointers to docs is appreciated.

Thanks
Patrick
