Yes, FLTK 2 is an experimental version that stalled, there's
currently no development, and it will probably be dropped completely.

There are plans, however, to combine the FLTK 2 API with the FLTK 1.3
base to build a new FLTK 3 version, but that's only a *plan*.

I also looked at your patch and the cygport file at:

<http://cygwin-ports.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cygwin-ports/ports/trunk/x11/fltk2/fltk2-2.0.x.6879-1.cygport>

There I saw a reference to dillo2: this unfortunately uses FLTK2, and
if you want to support this, the cygport version would have to stay
with FLTK 2. But please note that FLTK 2 has a different API than
FLTK 1.1 and FLTK 1.3.

Agreed. The current Cygwin version is 1.1.8, the latest stable
release is 1.1.10. Current development is 1.3.0, but as I wrote,
a release is not yet available.

For the different versions of FLTK please see this interesting
