[BuildTools] --enable-doscompile

[Ted Ralphs]

Andreas,

I guess I prefer the default compile mode to be to link with Cygwin.dll 
(but only slightly) because

1. There are some features of SYMPHONY that do not work otherwise, and 
most users will not dig around enough to realize how they should change 
this.

2. If you are using CYGWIN, rather than Visual C++ Express, you are 
probably planning to run the code from within CYGWIN (and want that 
features provided therein). In this case, why would you care about the 
dependence on CYGWIN.dll?

3. It is not nice to switch defaults on users in a patch release :) (of 
course, I guess we might have done that once already).

Isn't there a way to make the default for a given project something 
different than the global default? Then we could leave it as is and let 
each project choose its own default.

Anyway, I don't feel that strongly, so do as you must :).

Cheers,

Ted
