under Cygwin. The root cause of this problem is that (Sun) java is a

The solution is to use Cygwin's cygpath utility to convert the Posix style
JDBC installation directory path into a Win32 one before invoking ant.
I'm not sure if my patch is the best way to correct this issue but

Makefile.port, since they are of no use to configure and much of the
library magic happens in Makefile.port anyway.
Use __alpha, not __alpha__, since the former is universally available.
Remove -DNOFIXADE from the compile command line and put it in the port
include file.
source directory. This involves mostly makefiles using $(srcdir) when they
might have used ".". (Regression tests don't work with this, yet.)
Sort out usage of CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS (and CXXFLAGS). Add "override" keyword
in most places, to preserve necessary flags even when the user overrode the
flags.
Update the installation instructions (formerly misnamed "FAQ"), add configure
checks for some headers rather than having users copy stubs manually (ugh!).
Use Autoconf check for exe extension. This also avoids inheriting the value
of $(X) from the environment.
