An alternative is to investigate using the gnulib module in your code.
gnulib is currently designed for CVS use only (so there is no cygwin
distribution), but projects like coreutils use gnulib getline() and other
modules to make up for non-standard functions that are missing in various
platform libraries. http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/
