You are perfectly right in pointing out that the FAQ mentions the
following: mkfifo: P 5.4.2.1 -- unimplemented!!!
Perhaps this problem can be solved by testing for the value of
either uname -s for CYGWIN_NT-5.0 and other values or $TERM
for cygwin in the make install script or something similar.
That way we could have a working make install under cygwin too.
Fvwm is great! Thanks!
