Hi Jaroslav,
for cygwin I would like to include 
the following two patches before 3.2:

- hg_conf3 
corrects my mistake in SHLBINPRE SHLBIN for cygwin. 
This fault arise only in the installation phase so I missed
it before.

- hg_sysdep2 
completly removes the CYGWIN_init as it not needed.


Thanks
Marco
