GeoIP on Cygwin

The GeoIP package does not compile on Cygwin as it is, so you need to install a Cygwin package first.

To compile on Cygwin, GeoIP needs ipv6 support, so you need to get this pacakge: http://cygwin.win6.jp/cygwin-ipv6/release/cygwin/cygwin-1.5.25-15.tar.bz2

first: bzip2 -d /path/to/above/package
then move into top-level directory with: cd /
and then from within the top-level directory: tar -xvf /path/to/above/package

Then cd back to the GeoIP package and try compiling it.
