Several cygwins fixes: broken socket functions bug (gethostname), -fPIC warnings fixed, system message to add /lib path to PATH variable added. Doc changes: windows html pages revisited. Others: added support for x86-like processor optimization (via --with-cpu option of configure), added documentation for that option.

        New: The configuration script can now enable special optimizations for
        x86-like processors if called with the <code>--with-cpu=...</code> option.
-       This can decrease computation time by up to 30% on certain systems.
