I tried that... and installed emacs under Cygwin (so it can find emacs
to run emacs -batch) and then had to fix permissions on org-install
(since it's on a windows drive) before make autoloads worked.

I didn't spend any time trying to correct install locations in the
makefile.  I run org-mode without compiling any sources normally and
having to do the extra make step each time I move around the source tree
isn't going to be very enjoyable.  I have no idea if I need to rerun
this make autoloads command on a regular basis or not.

I'll continue working on the master branch tomorrow and see what breaks.
