OK, that documents _what_ your changes are, but not _why_ you are making
them.  Mentioning that you are adding macros that are present in a Linux
installation's endian.h would have been nice (for example, that you made
your changes by reading 'man htobe16' on Linux).

Umm - did you copy straight from glibc's endian.h?  That's a no-no;
cygwin generally doesn't want to borrow LGPL sources to avoid any
licensing questions (borrowing from BSD is okay, on the other hand).
You would have to implement things from scratch from a documentation
page, or copy from a less-questionable source, rather than using glibc's
implementation.

I'm stopping right here, so I don't risk tainting myself.  How about you
instead describe which macros you are missing, so someone can do a
clean-room implementation of those macros.
