Yes, I guess that's first in the include search path.

Since w32api now provides a that header, we should probably stop providing it
in libGL-devel.

You will need to apply the attached change to /usr/include/Xpoll.h to fix
xserver compilation with w32api-headers >= 3.0.0-1, which adds a new WIN32
define somewhere, which breaks this test.

It's not really the function of that document to tell people how to install
packages on cygwin.

I don't really want to put the package list there twice and have to keep both
copies updated.

If you're doing the package installation manually, you just find them (perhaps
using the search function), and select them for installation.

Subject: [PATCH proto/x11proto] Fix WIN32 check

Even if WIN32 is defined (because we have included windows.h somewhere), we want
to use the UNIX-like select() interface on Cygwin

This seems to be needed to compile xorg-server with MinGW-w64 w32api-headers
3.0.0, which add a new WIN32 define somewhere.
