Byron,

If you examine your JavaScriptCore build log, you might notice a bunch
of errors with respect to the Windows header files:

You need to make sure that the Cygwin environment is initializing the
Visual Studio shell variables that give the path to the Microsoft SDK
and other build-time requirements.

For example, in your "cygwin.bat" file you call to launch Cygwin, you
might wish to add as the first line:

call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat"

This will ensure that the Windows compiler (and all of its environment
variables) are defined properly within Cygwin.

Good luck,

-Brent
