+Thanks for your help there Michael. I wouldn't have thought of that one
+myself without your help :-)
+
+Anyway - for those who must stick with Cygwin here's a method that
+works using the mingw32 makefiles and some modifications:
+
+Basically you need to extract all exportable symbol names from the
+gawk.exe file into a text file and then create a dummy library file
+which we can link against on Cygwin. You then throw the library file
+away because in reality we use the gawk.exe file as the provider of
+those functions.
+
+1. First grab the gawk source, e.g. gawk-3.1.4.tar.bz2 and decompress
+it.
+2. Move to the gawk-3.1.4 directory you just created.
+3. cp pc/* .       (copy the pc directory into the main one)
+4. edit makefile - uncomment lines "DYN_FLAGS", "DYN_EXP", "DYN_OBJ"
+and "DYN_MAKEXP=$(DMEmingw32)
+5. make mingw32    (make a gawk.exe)
+6. run "gcc -o gawk.exe array.o builtin.o eval.o   field.o gawkmisc.o
+io.o main.o ext.o msg.o node.o profile.o re.o version.o dlfcn.o
+gawk.exp awkgram.o getid.o popen.o getopt.o getopt1.o dfa.o regex.o
+random.o" (i.e. remove the -s from the compile command from the
+makefile so the symbols are left in gawk.exe)
+
+now export all symbols from gawk.exe into foo.def so that we can put
+these in our library
+7. echo EXPORTS > foo.def
+8. nm gawk.exe | grep -E ' [TBD] _' | sed 's/.* [TBD] _//' >> foo.def
+9. cp foo.def gawkw32.def
+
+build the new library with all symbols included
+10. make mingw32
+
+Now you will see a file "libgawk.a" which you can link against to
+create extensions. For example to build an extension called "file" run:
+
+gcc -shared -dll -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I . extension/file.c -o file.dll -L .
+-lgawk
+
+Then you can load it in gawk using the expression:
+
+extension("./file.dll", "dlload");
+
+You must use the gawk you compiled from source though. It won't work
+with any other gawk unfortunately :-( But that's OK because the
+stripped gawk is not too big in size.
+
+Cheers,
+Dave.

+============================
+
+If you use GCC 4.0 under Mac OS X to compile gawk with optimization,
+AND multibyte support is *disabled*, the `ignrcas2' test fails. This is
+a compiler bug. Either compile it without optimization, or use gcc-3.3.
+
+All the other tests pass.
+
+Happily, the default is for the multibyte support to be enabled, so all
+the tests pass by defualt.
+
+The notes below no longer seem to apply.

+============================
+
+As noted in the NEWS file, as of 3.1.5, gawk uses character values instead
+of byte values for `index', `length', `substr' and `match'.  This works
+in multibyte and unicode locales.
