Unfortunately, it seems cygwin doesn't know how to expand a variable like %ProgramFiles% so that the Makefile would be locale-agnostic, so I just modified it for the most common version of "Program Files".
Here is a mostly exhaustive list of the changes:
o Removes the SCRIPT_ENGINE_* status defines and replaces the
instances with regular boolean integer returns or changes the
procedure to return void. The latter case is better generally because
the caller ignores any status return (e.g. nmap.cc calling open_nse)
and/or the procedure raises a fatal error when unsuccessful.
o Moves the SCRIPT_ENGINE_LUA_DIR and the like to the nse_main.h header file.
o Removes the use of the SCRIPT_ENGINE_TRY (there was only one left)
and thus changes the call to l_dnet_open to a void function called
directly by luaopen_nsock (in nse_nsock.cc) instead of luaopen_nmap
(in nse_nmaplib.cc). I felt moving the function was also an
appropriate (but somewhat unrelated to the intent of the patch) change
as opening the dnet metatable is very related to opening up the
nsock library. This confines errors in opening the nsock library, including
opening the dnet metatable, to the call to luaopen_nsock.
o The FILES and DIRS defines are moved in to nse_fs.h where they are
more appropriate and localalized.
Windows. Use this bundle if no other was specified with --ssl-trustfile.
Instructions for extracting the certificates are included. I have to go back
now and make this compile on Unix.
then old files that were in a previous build can be in the zip file of a new
build that doesn't have those files anymore. When the zip command sees an
existing archive, it modifies the archive rather than rebuilding it from
scratch.
space reasons, it is not an executable compiled with py2exe as in
the executable installer, rather it is the Ndiff source code
(ndiff.py) and a batch file wrapper (ndiff.bat). Because it's not
precompiled, it's necessary to have a Python interpreter
installed. [David]
duplicate DLL files to the distribution. David found that using a
different GTK download fixed the problem (see
docs/win32-installer-zenmap-buildguide.txt) and Fyodor was able to
reproduce and implement.
scan on Windows with --unprivileged. Previously Nmap assumed that the only way
o.isr00t could be false on Windows was if pcap functions were not available, so
the user would get the false message "requires that WinPcap version 3.1 or
higher...". NmapOps now has a state variable have_pcap so the meaning of isr00t
isn't overloaded.
some reason. I needed this because I got
6>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'nsock.lib'
6>Build log was saved at "file://c:\cygwin\home\david\nmap\ncat\Release\BuildLog.htm"
6>ncat - 1 error(s), 1 warning(s)
the first time I built the solution after cleaning. I had to build it a second
time to let ncat find nsock.lib.
some bug fixes and precautionary measures. A 0.9.9 release is
already mentioned in their online changelog (with a whole lot
of entries), but there is no set release date that I've seen.
Tested on XP with Nmap and Ncat.

explaining that nselib-bin used to be used but isn't any longer. Thanks to jah
for the suggestion.
too. The section in scripting.xml about creating C modules is gone. (But maybe
it should be replaced with a tutorial on making static modules?) The only
places where nselib-bin is still referenced are in mswin32/nsis/Nmap.nsi, where
it is still removed on uninstallation; and in mswin32/nmap.vcproj, from where I
don't have the resources now to remove it.
