Add note about need to specify extra compiler flags with recent Cygwin ports of gcc.

automatically with Emacs 21 and later.)

Note that this problem does not pertain to the MS-Windows port of
Emacs, since it doesn't use the preprocessor to generate Makefile's.

* Building the Windows port with Leim fails in the `leim' directory.

The error message might be something like this:

 Converting d:/emacs-21.1/leim/CXTERM-DIC/4Corner.tit to quail-package...
 Invalid ENCODE: value in TIT dictionary

* Building the MS-Windows port with Cygwin GCC can fail.

Emacs may not build using recent Cygwin builds of GCC, such as Cygwin
version 1.1.8, using the default configure settings.  It appears to be
necessary to specify the -mwin32 flag when compiling, and define
__MSVCRT__, like so:

  configure --with-gcc --cflags -mwin32 --cflags -D__MSVCRT__

* Building the MS-Windows port with Leim fails in the `leim' directory.

The error message might be something like this:
