: This seems to imply that the cygwin system you're using doesn't have
: networking support.  Why not just configure with --disable-networking?

The Cygwin installation has networking support for gcc compilation, but
the /usr/include headers can't be used with MSVC++ which is what I'm
using.  I'm using winsock2.h instead.  Still got lots of unresolved
symbols (thirty-simething) when linking, but it's gradually decreasing...

: Could existing definitions be used for some of the other headers:
: HAVE_UNAME, HAVE_GETGROUPS?

I'll look into it.
