due to Cygwin making awk.exe a 'cygwin symlink' to gawk.exe. The windows
shell does not support symlinks, and so any Apache makefile references
to awk.exe will fail.

listing Executable file paths. Add the path for awk.exe to this
list, and your system PATH environment variable, as needed.<br />
<br />
+ Also note that if you are using Cygwin (<a href="http://www.cygwin.com/"
+ >http://www.cygwin.com/</a>) the awk utility is named gawk.exe and
+ that the file awk.exe is really a symlink to the gawk.exe file. The
+ Windows command shell does not recognize symlinks, and because of that
+ building InstallBin will fail. A workaround is to delete awk.exe from
+ the cygwin installation and rename gawk.exe to awk.exe.<br />
