OK. Please make sure that you follow the instructions word for word: if
you skip steps, things might not work correctly.

OK. I would need more information than that: could you please copy and
paste the last 10-20 lines before that come before this "Error 1"?

I updated the instructions to make them clearer: basically, PCRE and 
OpenSSL need to be compiled by yourself with the steps outlined in the 
HOWTO: the packages in Cygwin have not been tested, and introduce a 
GPL-requirement due to cygwin1.dll: see comments in the HOWTO and this 
mailing list.

Please let me know if the updated instructions are clear enough.

Good luck, Achim
