This patch is to document the fact that Cygwin's awk doesn't work with
MSVC. This is due to Cygwin making awk.exe a symlink to gawk.exe. The
Windows shell does not support symlinks, and so any Apache makefile
references to awk.exe will fail.

See http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8726
