Cool.  Peter, your Plan #3 solves the problem for cygwin nicely, 
provided the following patch is applied afterward.  The patch changes \\ 
to / in the paths that gcc -E likes to spit out.  The \\ seems to 
confuse make.

With this patch, the following abomination shows up in my config.cache.  
It does work, which is what matters:

zsh_cv_path_signal_h=${zsh_cv_path_signal_h='/cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/lib/gcc-lib/i586-cygwin32/egcs-2.91.57/../../../../i586-cygwin32/include/sys/signal.h'}

Yes.  I considered this as part of porting zsh to a platform.

Not my original scheme.  It always gets the right one because it
relies on the compiler to find it, not configure.

The signal.h on a cygwin system can be pretty much anywhere.  On my
machine it is at
/cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/i586-cygwin32/include/sys/signal.h.

Also, if the point is to support cross compiling, I don't think the
fixed list of header locations in configure.in will cut it.  It will
likely pick up the signal.h for the host system, not the target
(though, I have to admit I've never cross compiled from one unix to
another -- maybe the same set of headers is typically used?).

It took me a while to figure out that zsh's "kill -l" listed only ZERR
because configure wasn't finding my signal.h.  (maybe I should
consider this part of porting zsh to a new platform!  :-)

Fortunately, cygwin lets me mount the path mentioned above to
/usr/include.  This lets configure find the right signal.h.

And, what really counts, it creates a correct signames.c!

If we stick with the improved AWK based scheme, I'll add a Cygwin
section to Etc/MACHINES describing how people should create their
/usr/include and that they should do it before running configure.
