i just updated the offending makefile -- you found a place
that i missed in the 0.7.0 --> 0.7.1 changes. i needed to
put absolute paths in (long story) and there are problems
getting cygwin's notion of pathnames to work with regular
win32 apps....

try updating abi/src/pkg/win/setup/Makefile and see if that
works.
