If you run it in a Cygwin environment you must make sure that all
parts are build for Cygwin.  For example, using a standard W32 binary
of gpg won't work, using a pre-1.2.1 gpg build under Cygwin won't work
either.

There are a couple of slight difference between a Cygwin and a native
binary (e.g. file descriptor mapping).

SuSE and autoconf is one of the most annoying problems I know.  It is
best for a developer using CVS to run a decent OS which translates to
Debian Woody, Sarge or Sid ;-)
