One problem with your environ patch.  I get a "can't find
cygwinb19.dll" message when configuring sources when I do the
following:

1) verify that /bin/sh doesn't have a cygwinb19.dll in its directory

2) I have c:\installdir\bin in my path which contains the binaries
including cygwinb19.dll

3) mount C: to /c

4) start bash (when I run an env, the PATH shows up with POSIX format
like it should)

5) when I cd to my object directory and run configure, it sees the
path as a Win32 path with mount information still present.  In other
words, "/c/installdir/bin" shows up as "\c\installdir\bin" which
doesn't exist in the OS' world.  It should be "C:\installdir\bin".

I committed the changes because I expect this is an easy problem to
fix and this patch works fine once I create a \c\installdir\bin and
throw a cygwin dll there but we do need to fix it...
