Some short instruction on how to compile supertuxkart with cygwin:

1) You have to use supertuxkart revision 593 or later (which you are 
   probably doing since you are reading this readme :)  ).

2) Install freeglut
   This is part of the cygwin packages, so just select this in
   the cygwin setup program.

3) Compile and install plib
   This should work straight out of the box.

4) Install OpenAL
   We have had some problems with this, so this might be the most difficult stage.

4) Unpack superuxkart and run ./configure  and  make.

That should be all.


Comments: 
1) A -DNOMINMAX is added for cygwin compilations, since otherwise
   min and max are #defined, causing problems with all std::min and
   std::max constructs.
2) The order in which plib/pu.h and plib/pw.h are included appears
   to be important - pw should be included first.

If you have any problems, please post on the mailing list - I am 
not a regular windows user, so am probably not able to help you.
