I get something like 'this project not selected for build with this 
solution configuration' and everything builds correctly.

I'm using a trunk rev circa 57800, not updated in quite a while.

I remember there was the need to convert line endings in auxiliary shell 
scripts to make them run correctly with cygwin.  Here's the command I've 
used for that purpose:

find . \( -name \*.sh -o -name \*.in \) -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i.bak -e 
's/$//g'

Hope this helps.
