Compiling GNUstep on Cygwin used to be fairly easy for me. With GJC 
including the ffi library almost all the needed bits could be downloaded 
with a Cygwin install. As far as I remember the liobc.dll was still 
needed, which can be downloaded from the GNUstep web page.
But that's how it used to be. Now Cygwin is broken. The last few 
releases of GJC (>3.3.3) are missing a header file included by ffi.h. 
Also the way we build the list of the exported symbols is no longer 
working, not sure if it is their fault or ours.
