That is not correct.  WIN32 is not defined under cygwin

(This is somewhat counter-intuitive since the Win32 API is available, but see 
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.programming.preprocessor for 
reasoning why)

So that patch as it stands is fine with me :-)

I can't just change it to check defined(__MINGW__) || defined(__CYGWIN__), as 
that prevents xfs (and possibly other users of libXfont) from building on 
cygwin.  I'll look into this some more and try to propose a solution :-)
