Hi,

I am trying to build tag 7.38.0 on Cygwin. I have noticed several errors:

1. configure:
$ ./configure --enable-sspi --with-winssl --host=mingw32

==============

note the errors in "missing"

2. Generated src/tool_hugehelp.c contains carriage returns and makes gcc
fail to compile that file. After a research, there maybe one solution
[1] to the generating perl script.

Excerpt:
tool_hugehelp.c:2228:1: error: missing terminating " character
tool_hugehelp.c:2229:1: warning: missing terminating " character
[enabled by default]
tool_hugehelp.c:2229:1: error: missing terminating " character
tool_hugehelp.c:2230:1: error: stray '\' in program

3. make install spits out some sed errors:
$ make install > /dev/null
/usr/bin/sed: -e Ausdruck #1, Zeichen 3: Unbekannter Befehl: `.'
/usr/bin/sed: -e Ausdruck #1, Zeichen 3: Unbekannter Befehl: `.'
/usr/bin/sed: -e Ausdruck #1, Zeichen 3: Unbekannter Befehl: `.'

sed version is 4.2.2
