The gnucash build system on Windows is using msys and won't cope well if 
cygwin is installed as well.

Stephen, can you check the 'sed' command used in the build is the one from 
msys and not from some other installed package (for example Git for Windows 
also installs sed and depending on your choices during installation this may 
be on the default path).

FYI, we have seen this issue on the gnucash build server for Windows as well 
for a while. I *thouht* John managed to fix this, but I'm not 100% sure of 
that.
