[photran] trouble erupts cygwin gfortran windows 7

Any help troubleshooting appreciated.

Because my purchased Intel Fortran under Visual Studio in Windows fails miserably to provide tools that Photran calls advanced tools, "designed to make it easier to write, modify, search, and maintain Fortran code", I turned to Photran. I wonder what for-profit motives determined the lack of ifort support on Windows Photran.  Any Intel employees with permission to respond to this please do.

In photran, I can specify a new fortran project, Executable (Gnu Fortran on Windows). 
For simple hello world projects, building is ok.
Debugging seems to be ok, at least stopping on a breakpoint works.
Although libgfortran exists and is found, it is unnerving that debugging produces a red herring warning:
Can't find a source file at "/gnu/gcc/releases/respins/4.3.4-4/gcc4-4.3.4-4/src/gcc-4.3.4/libgfortran/fmain.c"
Really there is no such path in my cygwin, and I have not been able to use Cygwin setup to install anything close to this source.
 
For more complex projects, that have more than one source file, building is ok, but with time, e.g. after fixing bugs, it seems that something gets corrupted and I get silly problem messages like this.
An internal error occurred during: "Build Project".
Could not find a file to match the module name: for
 
It appears that elipse 3.6.2. with photran 6.0.6. and the aforementioned CygWin is just not going to work.
Has someone else out there managed to get this configuration working.
