If you contribute missing stuff for the headers, that'll be great. You
can't of course just copy from a vendor header since that will violate
licensing restrictions in most cases (and then you'll see why so much
stuff is missing!). By the way, Anders Norlander has a new/alternate set 
of headers/libs for win32api that may be of interest. Search the mailing 
list for messages from Anders.

That means you're picking up cygwin <ctype.h> instead of the mingw
one. Are you compiling with -mno-cygwin as well? Check the include
paths searched with `gcc -v' and also the actual headers referenced
using `gcc -H'. If all else fails, just get the egcs 1.1 distrib for
mingw32.
