After a little less than a day's work, I have Anders' headers and def
files all working with Cygwin in our source tree. tcl/tk/tix/itcl all
compile fine as well.
I did have to go through winsock.h and add the requisite
__INSIDE_CYGWIN__ ifdefs to support Cygwin's confusing but necessary
internal mixing of Winsock socket calls and Unix socket
structures/definitions. That was the most time-consuming thing.
But the headers were missing a few defines mostly related to console
I/O, I also had to adjust a few @xx values in kernel32.def to get
cygwin1.dll to link, etc. But so far so good...
I'd be happy to hear any opinions as to completeness vs. the existing
headers.
