The fingerprints on the relevant files (...-msw.c, > ...encap-win32.c at least) are hugely stale, i.e. Ben Wing in 2000. This is definitely not a lost cause. I should probably have responded sooner. I have wrestled quite a bit with the 32-bit Cygwin build; when Corinna or Jon changed the mswin interface files, things were broken for awhile. I've been meaning to get around to updating the encap-win32 files. They are updated by a makefile target, which, as you have identified, has not been run in awhile. I don't have a 64-bit Cygwin to try out your changes on, but I'm happy to try your changes on my 32-bit Cygwin environment to make sure you didn't break anything there. Please send your diffs along.
