Hmm.  I don't think that should be necessary.  I think that the cl.exe
from Visual Studio.NET ought to work fine.  It just needs to be in
your PATH.  The README.DotNet file already says the following:

 |  If you have installed the .NET SDK as part of Visual
 |           Studio .NET, you will need to put the Visual Studio
 |           binaries in your path, and set appropriate environment
 |           variables.  The easiest way to do this is to put the line
 | 
 | call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio.NET\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat"
 | 
 |           into your cygwin.bat file (installed on the desktop by cygwin),
 |           after the line that says @echo off.
 |           Substitute your Visual Studio installation path for the default
 |           path given here.

Perhaps you missed that step?

Thanks, I will fix this.
