a) Why are you using native Win32 APIs in a cygwin program? You should
be using the POSIX interfaces instead -- see /usr/include/dirent.h.

DIR *opendir (const char *);
DIR *fdopendir (int);
struct dirent *readdir (DIR *);
int readdir_r (DIR *, struct dirent *, struct dirent **);
void rewinddir (DIR *);
int closedir (DIR *);

b) What you observe is an artifact of cygwin-1.7's new *support* for
i18n.  In cygwin-1.5, it just didn't care and passed all the bytes back
exactly as found without transliteration.  In 1.7, it (correctly)
transcodes strings into the current locale -- and your current locale
does not appear to support ñ -- or, at least, you haven't told cygwin to
use the correct one.

(I'm probably thoroughly botching this explanation, but the point is,
you need to check your LC_* and LANG env vars, and maybe call
setlocale(LC_ALL, "") in your application.)
