The problem is that running "latex -help" aborts with a segfault, 
popping up a silly window that forces you to click a button abort/ignore.

We could:
    - Test for the command uname
    - If it exists, and returns CYGWIN-NT-5.1 (or maybe CYGWIN*),
      and the system is Win32, then disable LaTeX.  It might
      be good to give an explanatory message, like:

         The latex command was found, but it is often
         unstable on Cygwin.  If you really want to enable it,
         add the following line to your OMakeroot.

            FORCE_WIN32_LATEX=true
