Summary:  Cygwin + --with-mstools fails

Original Submission:  Issues:
* csant provides a corrupt '/resource:' line to csc.exe
* pnet/support/spawn.c does not take into account Cygwin/MSVCRT spawnvp/_P_WAIT 
differences
* autotools does not supply properly formatted CSHARP_COMPILER when building 
against MSVCRT
  (aka --disable-cygwin / gcc -mno-cygwin)



pnet/pnetlib fresh cvs (2003-11-03)
-----------------------------------
pnet 'configured' as:
./configure --disable-cygwin --enable-shared

pnetlib 'configured' as:
./configure --with-x --with-mstools

MS.NET SDK C-sharp compiler:
c:WINNTMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv1.1.4322csc.exe
aka
/cygdrive/c/WINNT/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v1.1.4322/csc.exe



PROPOSTED PARTIAL-FIX PATCH:
* removes (?)spurious comma and trailing text in csant_cscc.c in /resources: 
line  [is it TRULY needed somehow?]
* Semi-hacked pnet/support/spawn.c  [see code comments in patch for temporary 
fix + reasoning]
* DOES NOT touch autotools. 
  Workaround: 
    -> Specify CSHARP_COMPILER during ./configure in Windows format
       ie: CSHARP_COMPILER="c:WINNTMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv1.1.4322csc" 
./configure --with-mstools
* BUILD PROCESS STILL TENDS TO EXPLODE messily when building some libraries, 
citing references et al which seem to be beyond the immediate scope of this 
bug; perhaps begin exploration by examining responsefiles csant generates 
(pnet/support/spawn.c around line 157 in ILSpawnProcess)
