I am trying to use Cygwin to write a PC application that calls the
function named FtpCommand.  Microsoft documentation that I found online
says that there is a header named wininet.h and a library named
wininet.lib to link in.  On my PC, under the Cygwin stuff, I see
wininet.h, but not wininet.lib.  This version of wininet.h does have a
declaration of FtpCommand.   

My PC also has copies of wininet.h and wininet.lib under "Program
Files", but this copy of wininet.h and wininet.lib does not contain
FtpCommand.  When I compile, this header gets brought in, not the Cygwin
one, so my use of FtpCommand doesn't compile cleanly.  I can get around
that by typing in the declaration of FtpCommand myself.  But then, of
course, I get link time errors because it didn't find a wininet.lib that
contained FtpCommand.

Should I be trying to get a copy of wininet.lib from Cygwin, or a more
up-to-date version of wininet.lib from Microsoft?  Either way, what
would I need to do to link it into my application?
