So I have cygwin installed and up and running. I can change directories,
whole nine yards.

I have run the following  test
<http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/moac/people/students/peter_cock/cygwin/part3/>  
and it works.

NOTE:
C:\cygwin\ 
and 
C:\cygwin\boost_1_53_0

also in my path system environment variable I have:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Program
Files\MATLAB\R2008b Student\bin;C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2008b
Student\bin\win32;C:\cygwin\bin

Now - when I try and run the following: ( Boost TUtorial
<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/doc/html/bbv2/installation.html>  )
bootstrap.cmd on a windows machine I get the following in the log file:

                                ### "Could not find a suitable toolset."
                                ###
                                ### You can specify the toolset as the argument, i.e.:
                                ###     .\build.bat msvc
                                ###
                                ### Toolsets supported by this script are: borland, como, gcc,
gcc-nocygwin,
                                ###     intel-win32, metrowerks, mingw, msvc, vc7, vc8, vc9, vc10, vc11
                                ###

A friend said for me to pass gcc in as an argument to bootstrap.cmd (in
command line: bootstrap.cmd gcc)

Which then gave the following to the log file:
###
### Using 'gcc' toolset.
###

C:\cygwin\boost_1_53_0\tools\build\v2\engine>if exist bootstrap rd /S /Q

builtins.c md5.c pwd.c class.c w32_getreg.c native.c modules/set.c
modules/path.c modules/regex.c modules/property-set.c modules/sequence.c
modules/order.c 

Please any help would be fantastic. I feel like I am banging my head against
a wall.
