Thanks for these hints. It's very helpful to have some sample
invocations.

I tried the two modifications to Make_cyg.mak, and several files
compiled, but the build halted because of a missing definition
for _MAX_PATH. I set it to 256 (as done in Make_cyg.mak when
USEDLL=yes), but the build halted again when it found
conflicting types for gettimeofday. As Steve Hall has offered
to post his build scripts for "Vim Without Cream", I think I'll
wait to see how that fares before debugging further.

It does seem like the distributed Make_cyg.mak file has fallen
behind the times a bit.

Thanks,
