* Make it HTML4.01

* Add information about cygwin
* Simplify instructions a little and make it more robust (have people just
  reconfig and build after buildint the CFE)
* Remove some obsolete stuff

<p>If you are building LLVM and the C front-end under cygwin, please note that
the LLVM and GCC makefiles do not correctly handle spaces in paths. To deal
with this issue, make sure that your LLVM and GCC source and build trees are
located in a top-level directory (like <tt>/cygdrive/c/llvm</tt> and
<tt>/cygdrive/c/llvm-cfrontend</tt>), not in a directory that contains a space
(which includes your "home directory", because it lives under the "Documents
and Settings" directory). We welcome patches to fix this issue.
