Lwtools is now used and all the makefiles reflect that. If your getting anything else and it's building with toolshed, then it's an old branch. You must use the lwtools-port branch to get the most current updates. Your instructions probably pull the old 3.2.8 version before Boisy ported it all to lwtools.. Of course it's nice to still have toolshed installed for other things and I think os9.exe is still used from that package.

Thanks for checking it. I will add lwtools to the instructions. In
fact I'd like to rearrange it all since most of it is not Cygwin
specific.

I do *not* intend to add anything about the lwtools-port branch. This
is a temporary situation. If innocent users are meant to use the code
that now is in the lwtools-port branch, this code should be merged
into the default branch. We can always keep what now is in the default
branch as a "mamou" branch or just a tag.

Boisy, do you agree?

nobody else possibly can be interested.
