install.sh for Windows - libtool issue w/ guile

[Keith.Gunderson at act.org]

Hello all,

I'm excited about the work you've been doing porting gnucash to W32.  I'm 
having difficulty getting guile built and installed.  Sorry if this should 
be sent to the guild team first, but trail results were encouraged  :)

I can't make sense of the issue although I'm rather close to being a 
crackled veteran of these build processes...  (at least in UNIX.)  Can any 
of you help sniff out the issue?

Thanks in advance.


I followed the instructions, from the README (as of SVN yesterday.)  I 
blanked my PATH to exclude cygwin and got messages "cygpath not found" at 
the same spot of the issues I include below.  So I altered the PATH to 
include cygwin/bin and I get:
