Hey Corinna,

This particular issue has nothing at all to do with with my build
system changes, and everything to do with the "config" script.  Its
responsability is to figure out what the platform target should be and
then call Configure with it.

If you have a look in "config", it doesn't generate "Cygwin-x86_64" at
all.  Would you be willing to have a look at that script and modernise
it regarding Cygwin?

Cheers,
Richard
