Travis,

Please change this:

- #if defined(__SSE4_1__) && defined(__GNUC__) && defined(__linux__)
+ #if defined(__SSE4_1__) && defined(__GNUC__) && (defined(__linux__) ||
defined (__CYGWIN32__))

I have built on cygwin (with -msse4 instead of -msse2), and it builds just
fine. It is not faster (about 5% slower), but builds fine, and tests fine.

Also, this should be changed.  This is the proper benchmark setting for a
non-salted format:

-        .benchmark_length   = 1,
+        .benchmark_length   = -1,

With that benchmark testing changed, my cygwin build now benches this new
code about 5% faster than the raw-sha1 from bleeding.

>From doing a simple 'real' test (-inc:alnum against the sha1 of abc3dr), I
see about ~5% faster with rawsha_sse4 on a cygwin build. 36s vs 38s, showing
that the -1 benchmark value is the correct one to use, to make a proper
comparison.

Jim.
