Updated ReleaseNotes.txt since the issue of build CompressDll.dll in cygwin is fixed, there is no need to copy 'linux' java header to Windows: JVAV_HOME/Include.

Cygwin is a POSIX style operating environment for Windows. It is possible to
compile the EDK 2 using gcc and cygwin. There are a few extra steps necessary
-to make this happen. There is a JNI (Java Native Interface) library in the
-Tools. In order to compile this under Cygwin, the 'linux' java headers must be
-installed to the $JAVA_HOME dir on the windows system. To accomplish this, you
-must install the JDK on a linux system, and then copy
-linux:$JAVA_HOME/include/linux/ to windows:$JAVA_HOME/include. These are really
-typedefs needed by gcc.
-
+to make this happen.
Compiling under cygwin is slow, because the underlying file accesses are slow
in cygwin. For this reason, we do not encourage the use of cygwin. A true unix
system will be a superior choice for those wishing to compile with gcc.
