I agree, but it doesn't work.   @WINDOWS_DIRS@ ends up being
placed in Make literally rather than what should be substituted for it.
Something is wrong with @SUBDIRS_AC@ in the latests cygwin apparently,
and replacing as I show above gets everything to build.
I even went as far as deleting all of cygwin and reinstalling all of it,
but the error remains in the new cygwin setup.  Have you tried automake 1.10?
That is what cygwin is shipping with now.
I'll try going back to 1.9 and see what that it does tomorrow.

texi2html is a cygwin package.  I didn't try to build anything beyond
the html files, as that is all I need.

Actually I built the html docs yesterday with your pre-bootstrapped
file.
