Good tip!

Makefile is using /GCC-M68K/BIN/install.exe instead of
/CYGWIN-B20/H-I586-CYGWIN32/BIN/install.exe.

OK, Makefile fiddling is impossible because this path is written to every
single Makefile in the tree.

Is it OK to edit config.cache and run config.status to recreate Makefiles?
Or do I have to rerun configure and pass extra options?  I remember that I
have seen "Detecting cygwin... no" on the screen but that message is logged
nowhere.  Should configure detect cygwin?

Sorry, but I'm new to this configure stuff (and new to windows but this
doesn't count :-).

Bye,
