Hi,

i was able to compile Povray 3.6.1 under cygwin. Cygwin was a fresh 
installation with ALL modules.
(Latest version of cygwin)
With the default installation of cygwin there was no C99 compatibility 
(compiling failed due missing 
vsnprintf()? function)

1st try failed because the source files were in a directory with spaces
	C:\Programme\POV-Ray for Windows v3.6\cygwin\povray-3.6.1
2nd try with
	D:\local_dev\Privat\cygwin\povray-3.6.1
was successful.

The same applies with megapov 1.1 sources.

After compiling i 've tried some test renders -> no problems (there was 
some difficulties with the path to the .ini files).

Sorry for my poor english...

Hope, this helps...

Zan
