Umm, no, I didn't do anything special.  But I haven't compiled pdksh since
last June.  It seems that in the meantime, unistd.h included getopt.h, and
now the "struct option" defined by pdksh (which doesn't use getopt at all)
conflicts with getopt's.  I'm sure I could get it to compile.  The easiest
would be to rename the struct, I suppose...  I'd like to have a minimal
patch if I intend to package it...

P.S. I'll report to the cygwin-apps list when I make progress on this one.
