It works properly with cygwin (I use the configure script). If you're
curious I can post a copy of the log from running that, and the subsequent
make.
My impression of your patch is that it might be done in a different way
to fit better into the existing ifdef's (so nothing has to be redefined),
but I haven't found time to set up a development with mingw32 to test that
idea.
