Again Earnie: You ever heard of autoload.cc? Did you have a look
into that? You know that this file loads functions on demand? You
know that we're already using functions of more recent Windows versions
_if they are available_? Cygwin obviously *can* use functions of
2K or NT which aren't available in 9x/Me. So, what exactly are you
up to?

That doesn't sound like a plan to me.

The autoload change was just to fix the GetConsoleWindow AT 4 to a
GetConsoleWindow AT 0. It was a typo which disallowed successful
linking, nothing else. Your current version of w32api disallows
even compiling the stuff.

Definitely not. But I'm probably not good enough in explaining things,
I'll let others discuss that.
