As you may have already determined, these errors are indicative of  
build-generated-files.sh having Windows line endings when Cygwin's  
version of bash requires that it have Unix line endings.  You should  
be sure to check out the WebKit source using the Cygwin SVN client  
rather than a Windows-native SVN client to ensure that the files have  
the expected line endings.
