[Swift-user] Using swift for PCs

[Michael Wilde]

Mark, the swift command should set $SWIFT_HOME by finding where it was 
executed from. That logic seems not to be working under cygwin, likely 
due to some shell or command differences. We'll need to investigate, but 
perhaps this gives you a clue to help you to down the problem.
