Cygwin installation notes

[Benjamin Reaves]

Thank you for supporting Cygwin with SRILM v1.3!  This is a great help for
those of us without easy access to a Unix-based system.  For cygwin
installation, the following additions to the instructions in the INSTALL
file are necessary:

- You must choose to install the following Cygwin components:
   tcsh, tcltk, time
  in addition to the obvious*

- If the file /bin/csh does not exist you must do
    cd /bin ; ln -s csh tcsh
  Same for: ln -s awk gawk

- After installation, your $HOME/.bashrc file should contain:
    export SRILM=/cygdrive/c/srilm13   # or similar
    export MACHINE_TYPE=cygwin
    export PATH=$PATH:$SRILM/bin:$SRILM/cygwin/bin # mentioned in INSTALL
    export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$SRILM/man     # mentioned in INSTALL

Note that I installed Cygwin from http://www.planetmirror.org. Each mirror
site has a slightly different set of Cygwin components that are installed by
default.

* If you have enough demand from users, it would be worth making a list of
components that are necessary for installation. This list would include gcc,
make, bash, tcsh, tcltk, time, and possibly awk, perl, sed, gzip, ...
