lynx-dev CYGWIN patch for lynx2.8.5dev.2

[Doug Kaufman]

The ability to interrupt nameserver lookup has not worked in Win98 using
the Cygwin port, despite defining _WINDOWS_NSL. It looks like the
threaded code is only for WinNT. At least under Cygwin, that code also
seems to work fine under Win98. This changes the HTTCP.c to use the
threaded _WINDOWS_NSL code for all Cygwin machines. Does anyone know
what the problem was that lead to the code being only for WinNT
originally? Does anyone see problems with these changes?
