According to
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/boostbook/getting/started.html
it's recommended to execute the script tools/boostbook/setup_boostbook.sh
for an automatic installation and configuration of the Boost documentation
tools. When I try it I get this:

$ ../boost_1_35_0/tools/boostbook/setup_boostbook.sh
../boost_1_35_0/tools/boostbook/setup_boostbook.sh: line 7: $'\r': command
not found
../boost_1_35_0/tools/boostbook/setup_boostbook.sh: line 16: $'\r':
command not found
../boost_1_35_0/tools/boostbook/setup_boostbook.sh: line 18: $'\r':
command not found
../boost_1_35_0/tools/boostbook/setup_boostbook.sh: line 56: syntax error
near unexpected token `$'do\r''
'./boost_1_35_0/tools/boostbook/setup_boostbook.sh: line 56: `for dir in
$PATH; do

As there is a reference to Windows with Cygwin on
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/boostbook/getting/started.html
I expected the script to work on Cygwin. Can anyone tell me if this Cygwin
is supported and the script supposed to work on Cygwin?
