 
**************************** IMPORTANT NOTES **********************************

   the following notes are relevant for cygwin as of version CYGWIN_NT-5.1
   and later
 

1)	the include file values.h in this directory has to be copied
	to /usr/include/mingw to replace the values.h in there, e.g. :
	$ cd /usr/include/mingw
	$ mv values.h values.h.orig
	$ cp /midas/version/install/unix/systems/Cygwin/values.h .

2)	the VLT filenames using colons (:) make trouble, e.g. a tar aborts
	if it contains such a filename 
	so, we use instead of, eg:
	VISIR. 2004-09-30T03:17:49.095.fits 
	filenames like:
	VISIR.2004-09-30T03c17c49.095.fits
