All the files, including this one, README.cygwin, necessary for porting ispell-3.2.06 to Cygwin are contained in the patchfile, patchfile_1.0. All that is necessary after unpacking the ispell-3.2.06 distribution, is to put the patchfile in the same directory and type.
1) patch -Np1 < patchfile-1.0
2) make all
3) make install
This port of ispell-3.2.06 follows the recommendations of Pierre Humblet. My main contribution was to modify the Makefile to better work with Cygwin's pain-in-the-butt install.
