Configuration
-------------
+ - Applied patches to address Cywin build issues
+
+ There were three issues for Cygwin builds:
+ - Shared libs were not built.
+ - The -std=c99 flag caused a SIG_SETMASK undeclared error.
+ - Undefined errors when buildbing test shared libraries.
+
+ Patches to address these issues were received and incorporated in this version.
