There is definitely something going badly wrong with the configure script. Not sure quite what to do - I manage to get an older install of cygwin off another machine and it compiled OK - but got an error on first running about "pervasives.mli". Not sure what to do next - at the moment, I'm sticking with the native windows port, but since I don't have VC++ I can't compile optimised code, which is a pain. Has anyone else had configure errors under the latest cygwin? Can anyone test this? Thanks!
