Still doing cygwin testing.

So far I have these 5.8.9 failures:
../ext/Time/HiRes/t/HiRes.t           0    15    38    0  ??
../lib/CPAN/t/10version.t                        ??   ??  ??
../lib/ExtUtils/t/Constant.t                    272  271  2-272
../lib/ExtUtils/t/FIRST_MAKEFILE.t    2   512     7    2  4-5
../lib/ExtUtils/t/INSTALL_BASE.t     16  4096    21   16  4-19
../lib/ExtUtils/t/basic.t            69 17664    83   69  4 6-55 57-59 
61-67 69
                                                           71-74 77 80-81
io/tell.t                                        28    1  28

Under 5.8.8 I had:
t/op/magic................................FAILED at test 27
t/op/taint................................FAILED--expected 238 tests, 
saw 149
FAILED--expected 16 tests, saw 0
lib/Net/Ping/t/500_ping_icmp..............# Failed test 2 in 
../lib/Net/Ping/t/500_ping_icmp.t at line 28
#  ../lib/Net/Ping/t/500_ping_icmp.t line 28 is:   ok $p->ping("127.0.0.1");
FAILED at test 2

But I have some minor cygwin improvements,
which should in the upcoming cygwin release also:
-----

* Update README for the ld2 axe, and a bit more.

* CYG04 At least on cygwin strip the last number
    from the dll. This is in the cygwin.com build since years.

* CYG01 update hints from blead

* CYG09 enhance GetCurrentThreadId test

* CYG10 improve Win32::GetLastError test
