Are the *-bin.zip files needed? Are not the *-lib files sufficient?

Installation quirks
I had to do:
configure CPPFLAGS=-I/C/GNUstep/msys/1.0/include LDFLAGS=-I/C/GNUstep/msys/1.0/lib
to get the gui build going.
Also, ffcall wouldn't compile, so it was necessary to copy one from an older GNUstep installation on windows. I will make a zip of this and put in on the GNUstep ftp site so that others don't run into the same issue.
Later, GJC

Compiling on cygwin
Currently, running the base configure script on cygwin results in the following error:
configure: error: Unable to determine type for 16-bit integer
A workaround is to make a config cache file with the following inserted:
ac_cv_sizeof_double=${ac_cv_sizeof_double=8}
ac_cv_sizeof_float=${ac_cv_sizeof_float=4}
ac_cv_sizeof_int=${ac_cv_sizeof_int=4}
ac_cv_sizeof_long=${ac_cv_sizeof_long=4}
ac_cv_sizeof_long_long=${ac_cv_sizeof_long_long=8}
ac_cv_sizeof_short=${ac_cv_sizeof_short=2}
ac_cv_sizeof_voidp=${ac_cv_sizeof_voidp=4}
then configure configure with --cache-file= pointing to the file.
