You have apparently better eyes then I have.  Where did you see that
bindresvport function in Cygwin?

If you're talking about the implementation in newlib/libc/sys/linux/...
then it's unusable for Cygwin.  There's a reason it's in the linux
subdirectory...

No.  We need a implementation which uses the limited functionality
of WinSock.  It's not that hard, but it's definitely not going to be 
in 1.5.20.  http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#SHTDI
