I think make install on Cygwin needs /usr/local and not c:\ack

It's clearly trying to make a MINGW standalone Windows version rather than a Cygwin Unix-like version. Currently there's no way to tell it which you want; it assumes all Windows systems are the same.

Well this really doesn't help because I've tried to make it work with MinGW and for some reason the GNU as that gets made doesn't work when building the thing.

Right now I'm in the middle of redoing the build system which should, hopefully, fix this and other issues.
