You're right.  Getgroups isn't there, probably because there is no mechanism
for it in Windows 95.  There is a subset of functionality not yet implemented
in cygwin, but which configure scripts often search for: chroot, getgroups
(lynx wants getgroups also), setpwent, etc.  You can rewrite the configure
script to eliminate the getgroups exit and add a separate library of dummy
functions, and that may work.
