 I don't see anything cygwin-specific there, except for handling the cygwin 
shell. And I expect the WINDOWS32 code should work just fine for cygwin make

 I have not done this, apparently make always gets windows paths when building 
LO, or does somebody have a problem with this (builtins have "(Built-in)" 
prefix when doing verbose make)?
