Larry,

That's curious.

Here's the complete contents of "/usr/include/windef.h" in my recent clean 
Cygwin 1.1.6 install (with all updates currently mirrored on 
Sunsite.utk.edu installed):

-==-
#include <w32api/windef.h>
-==-

However, the exact typedef you quote appears on line 120 of 
"/usr/include/w32api/windef.h", the ultimate target of this #include. That 
typedef is the first line of content actually passed by the pre-processor 
to the compiler as a result of a #include of "/usr/include/windef.h" (that 
observation is based on running "gcc -E /usr/include/windef.h").
