Without "autoreconf --force -i"
90% of the packages don't build on cygwin due to libtool specific requirements,
so a drastic approach was chosen.

With only configure and make, octave build stops here

Creating library file:
DLD-FUNCTIONS/.libs/__contourc__.dll.a../libcruft/.libs/libranlib.a(advnst.o):advnst.f:(.text+0
x4b): undefined reference to `__gfortran_st_write'
../libcruft/.libs/libranlib.a(advnst.o):advnst.f:(.text+0x63):
undefined reference to `__gfortran_transfer_character'

Here with "autoreconf --force -i"   the documentation is rebuilt (only
the octave one).
As it seems a cygwin only issue, I will look for a root cause or a workaround.

As rebuilding every time the documentation is really a waste of time ,
I need it anyway.
