Thanks, but I don't think this really answers my question.

Shouldn't "configure" for a Cygwin source package just Do The Right
Thing?  That's the whole point of "configure", isn't it?  So if some
Cygwin source packages depend on win32 header files or whatever,
shouldn't the configure script included with those packages
automatically add "-mwin32" or "-I/usr/include/w32api" or whatever to
the compiler flags?
