This is partly my fault. The Mingw runtime headers in Cygwin is quite
out of date, and I just haven't had the time to send the changes to
Cygwin folks. Cygwin team of course has to deal with their priority
first -- Cygwin, not "no Cygwin".
Download the mingw runtime from my site and use those instead (the
mingw-extra package doesn't supply these -- yet).
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/mingw32/runtime/
unzip to a temporary directory, and move the includes and libraries
to a /usr/local/mingw/include and /usr/local/mingw/lib directory and
use -I<dir> and -L<dir> to help gcc -mno-cygwin along.
You want the latest bin-crtdll .zip file (currently at 1999-11-07).

The b20.1 win32 headers are simply too incomplete, and it doesn't have
the prototype for GetSystemPowerStatus. Download the mingw runtime, and
that should help.
I'll enhance the mingw-extra package later on to include the whole bit
to avoid these problems.
