Applied with changes.
I've run indent on flock.c since its formatting was non-GNU. I've
removed the _DEFUN, since it's nowhere else used in Cygwin. I've
added a change message to include/sys/file.h according to the
licensing terms in include/sys/copying.dj. I removed the _flock
from cygwin.din. This should in future really only be used if newlib
expects a new syscall.

This is a question you should ask DJ. AFAIK, DJGPP is GPLd. This
would mean that its code isn't suitable for use in Cygwin itself.
