[MPICH] Compiling and using under WinXP/cygwin

[madfran]

Hi,..

I am sure I use the mpiexec from MSI, but however with the mpiexec from
cygwin I obtain the same result.

smpd.exe -status, say me,
"smpd running on NOHW8156"

Well. I think will be necessary to remove the installation of MPICH2
from cygwin and remain only with the installation from msi.

1-Can you send me a procedure ?
2-I will be able to compile other programs under cygwin if MPICH2 it is not 
  installed under cygwin?
