I "discovered" this before the previous mail ....

I just upgraded all, but testing the new compiling process I have still
some problems on Cygwin branch: size of generated scr\Makefile.in is 4.10
MB ..... and Makefile is 598 KB.
All substitutions seem to be right and Squid compiles without error.
I'm using autoconf 2.52 (needed by AC_API_WIN32), can be this the origin of
the problems ?
If no, can You check if something is wrong, I just "cvsmerged" Cygwin branch.

Thanks
