That was a long time ago. I dont think I ever published the patch, but
if you can get your hands on a free version of the M$ compiler, you
can grep the headers file for the missing macro, and complete the
cygwin headers file ones. That's what I did at the time, I do not
remember if it worked out ok.

Good luck,
