Compiling with cygwin under windows

(Thanks to Gerasimos Xydas for these hints.)

1. Installing Cygwin

   No problems here.

2. Unpacking the tar files

   Remember to unzip everything using Cygwin "tar" tool and not WinZip. WinZip corrupts files.

3. Create festival and tmp directory

   Decide where you want to install festival and copy all the downloaded ".gz" files in there. Here, I assume "C:\festival".

   Also, make a "C:\tmp" directory. It is required for festival to work properly.

4. Compile as normal

   cd speech_tools
   make
   

   [wait for compilation...]

   cd ../festival
   make
   

   [wait for compilation...]

   [done!]...?
