That's the wrong approach. As I wrote in an earlier message with respect to libintl, Cygwin is not Windows but a POSIX system in the first place. Do NOT call Windows functions in Cygwin libraries, unless the lib is doing something very special which isn't provided by POSIX functions. Only call POSIX functions. Don't mix the Cygwin and the Windows environment. Please leave the interfacing to the underlying OS the sole job of Cygwin. This includes how the internationalization environment is handled. Basically, if you add a #ifdef __CYGWIN__ to your code to call Windows functions, don't.
