Earnie,
ever heard of autoload.cc?
The problem is not in Cygwin but in w32api/include:
Excerpt from windef.h:
#ifndef WINVER
#define WINVER 0x0400
#endif
#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT
#define _WIN32_WINNT WINVER
#endif
That variable has to be set to the latest version of Windows available,
to 0x0510 or 0x0501, that is.
You can't rely on each application to set it by hand.
