Apparently cygwin doesn't grok comptry.bat. I haven't tried to pin down the exact reason why. The function of comptry.bat is to retry the build with -DNO_LONG_LONG. For pretty much any compiler we're likely to run into nowadays, this is unlikely to be a problem. Simply changing 'comptry.bat cl ...' to 'cl ...' works with cl from MSVS8. If we're ambitious, we can move the test into configure.ac.
Compile_MS_ASL should be updated to perform the necessary edit on makefile.vc to remove the reference to comptry.bat. Will test the the next time I'm playing in cygwin.
