See attached correspondence for building under cygwin. In the most
recent distro,
$(CXXFLAGS) was omitted from the makefile at one point where it should
follow $(CXX).
The only other change I found necessary was the modification of
charconv.h suggested below by the author.

Yes, but I had not encountered the carriage return problem, so I thought
it was a complete fix.

That looks like a GNU patch file, but since I've never used the GNU
patch tool, and don't even know if I have it installed, I didn't try this.

This does the trick! No error messages in the build, and the .exe has
the desired unix-like behavior with no carriage returns in the print
strings..
Thanks again.
