Re: octave 2.9.13 on cygwin

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

This is Tatsuro MATSUOKA writing
I patched configure.in and reconstruct the binary.
The result is

  sec = 0
  min = 0
  hour = 0
  mday =  30
  mon =  7
  year =  107
  wday = 0
  yday = 0

nc =  12

The sentece is not completed yet.
I wonder that I could not get complete patch.
