Ok, I found the reason the file was empty (or sometimes didnt exist (not sure of this)).
I was using "cygstart %" as my application handler, and cygstart runs in the background
by default and elinks thinks it's done so it removes the file (not sure why the file would be
empty though). In any case I just made the handler "cygstart -w %" and it works fine.

Another thing I did since cygstart handles cygwin-style path names is just
#undef HAVE_CYGWIN_CONV_TO_FULL_WIN32_PATH in src/session/download.c.
(Actually I did it in config.h after configure but then had to remove the config.h dependency
from all-recursive in Makefile so it doesnt regenerate).

Anyway, I'm happy! Thanks for the help.
