[Aldor-l] aldor/NMakefile

[Laurentiu Dragan]

Hi Bill,

I should include cygwin as a requirement besides visual studio. It might 
work with msys, but I haven't tested it yet.

For tests, cygwin is required to allow me to use the same tests as in 
Linux. Some of the tests are bourne shell scripts.

Running the testaxl tests (after make distrib):
1. cd lib\axllib\test
2. make tests (requires cygwin's make)

Thank you for the patch!
