[Ecls-list] Building Maxima in Cygwin with ECL 10.2.1

[Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll]

Thanks for confirming that this works. I just wanted to also confirm that
cygwin is now an officially supported and regularly tested platform in the
ECL project
    http://ecls.sourceforge.net/logs.html

As for Maxima in general, there were some problems with version 10.3.1 of
ECL I am working on a patch release to be produced soon, hopefully sometime
in the middle of next week. Sorry for the inconvenience.
