Thanks, but you need to be more selective: which one of these changes
is the root cause, and why?
In general, everything that is related to one_w32_display_info is
specific to the WINDOWSNT port, so perhaps the problem is that the
Cygwin-w32 build is incorrectly treated the same. But where exactly?
Once you point out the parts that are causing this bug, they should be
modified for __CYGWIN__, but left alone for WINDOWSNT.
Thanks.
