[chimera-dev] Chimera's Amber tools compile on windows

[Greg Couch]

We also use cygwin on Windows to compile Amber tools.  Chimera 1.9 is 
old, we're getting ready to release 1.11.  Currently we're using Amber 
tools 15.  If you go to 
https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/sourcecode.html, and click on Chimera 
SVN repository, you can browse to what we're currently using.  The 
patches we use are in the *.patch files.  You can see in the GNUmakefile 
which parts we build and which parts are installed.  Feel free to clean 
up our patches and submit them to ambermd.org.  We should champion them 
ourselves, but our focus is on Chimera's replacement right now.

     HTH,

     Greg
