One problem I have just hit: using getcwd requires the unistd.h, which
also pulls in /sys/types.h. This results in a redefinition of the u_*
types, and FD_CLR etc.

I had tentatively added the SEEK_* definitions to your files, and they
get redefined, too. SEEK_* and u_* are the same, so no harm other than
the warnings. However the FD_* are different. #define
_GNU_H_WINDOWS32_SOCKETS is in Sockets.h to prevent this. Does the
__INSIDE_CYGWIN__ patch accomplish the same thing, or is this a separate
issue?
