I should probably put the -mno-cygwin bit into win32/build_pcb.  The 
idea is running ./win32/build_pcb under cygwin should produce a windows 
installer that works without cygwin.

Was there really anything else besides those couple of lines right at 
the beginning of configure.ac and the thing in src/Makefile.am that 
links in the desktop icon?
