title: NVM fails to install any version of Node.js in Cygwin
body: <p>I've already learned that Node.js opted out of supporting Cygwin in the newer version, but NVM can't install the older version either. The error I'm getting:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ nvm install v0.4.12
  Additional options while compiling:
  ######################################################################## 100.0%
  C:\Python27\python.exe: can't open file '/home/wvxvw/.nvm/src/node-v0.4.12/tools\
  /waf-light': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
  nvm: install v0.4.12 failed!
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><em>(formatted for readability)</em></p>
  
  <p>I think this is because of Python binaries aren't aware of Cygwin-style path (and cannot find <code>/home/</code> directory) I tried building from sources (same version) and am facing the same problem). I'm not sure however what to do. I wouldn't like to change Python installed in Windows for Python that can be installed through Cygwin. And if this error isn't just the tip of the iceberg, I'd maybe just change the Makefile.</p>
  
  <p>The question is directed to those who might tell whether it makes sense to try to "fix" the Makefile, or should I just use Cygwin's version of Python (its problem is very buggy <code>fork</code>, but I think I could live with that...)</p>
