FW: Build on Cygwin

[Richard Bytheway]

Is mf.base transferable between systems? I guess what I mean is, can someone
send me a copy?

Metafont is included in MiKTeX, however, I'm not sure

As Jan usually says, the cygwin installation of Lilypond
will be much simpler the day all of teTeX is ported to cygwin.
