[vtkusers] Compiling under Cygwin

[Joey Mukherjee]

Is anyone using Cygwin 1.5.7-1 and VTK with X11?

When I use the above combination, I get a coredump in cygwin.dll.  VTK 
on its own works okay (well, the test programs in bin) and my other X 
programs which do not include VTK work fine, yet the combination of the 
two causes an issue.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them, but I think this may be 
more of an issue for the Cygwin list.
