Re: ml-build broken in windows?

Dear Dave,

can you try this example in a plain DOS shell (i.e., not under
Cygwin)?

The Windows port is generally not stress-tested much on our side,
and I have no idea what it might do when you run it in a Cygwin
environment.  In fact, I would guess that there will be major
issues with respect to pathnames -- which might explain the
cryptic error you are seeing.
