I found the following patch useful for building git 1.4.4.1 on cygwin.  As
of cygwin-1.5.22, C99 format strings are now supported (since I
contributed the newlib patch that added them).  As of cygwin-1.5.21, d_ino
is now reliable for all cygwin filesystem accesses (except for some remote
NetApp drives, which have been fixed in cygwin CVS).  And while it is true
that native Windows does not support symlinks, making NO_SYMLINK_HEAD a
good idea for native builds; this is not the case for cygwin, and I did
not seem to have any problems with removing it, either.
