How the build was configured on Windows 

Installed cygwin including gcc, make, etc
Obtained ROOT source from their CVS repository using the branch tag v5.14.00-patches

Downloaded Python 2.3.5 for windows
We decided to upgrade to Python 2.5 at this point in the Core Meeting from March 13, 2007
We double-checked ROOT's abilty to handle this version of Python and were pleased to find this ROOT forum discussion: http://root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4359^{Image Added}

Obtained FFTW 3.1.2 from http://www.fftw.org/install/windows.html^{Image Removed}
downloaded:  libxml2-2.6.15.win32 from Planet Mirror
downloaded gccxml from http://www.gccxml.org/HTML/Index.html^{Image Removed}
