Installing Cygwin for Windows builds

Like most of the other cross-platform open source projects, OpenJDK uses Unix-like tools for the build process. Tools such as gmake, awk, and cpio are ubiquitous for the Unix and Linux world and may be found on almost any Unix-like platform. However, these tools are based on Unix process behavior, and that becomes a problem when we want to run them on Windows.

Cygwin is a set of free and open source tools being developed by Red Had, Inc. and provides limited support for the Unix-like environment in Windows. It is required to build OpenJDK on Windows.
