the gmake we use is a cygwin-gmake not a WINDOW32 gmake

so to build it on cygwin
./configure
make

should be enough and autotools should detect cygwin properly

beside the 'call touch as an inline' thing does not need to be windows
specific. granted that on linux it won't probably not translate into
big gain, it should not hurt either...
