[ncl-install] NCARG_ROOT under Cygwin

[Daniel Adriaansen]

Hi Mary,

Someone on the mailing list e-mailed me offline with a suggestion of a 
^M character hidden inside my .bashrc file (from using a Windows text 
editor). I deleted my .bashrc file and created a new one using a linux 
text editor and the problem is fixed. NCL works as expected now. Thank 
you for your response!
