Only the Cygwin w32 build, which sets HAVE_NTGUI and uses the Windows
GUI code for display (so no need for an X11 server).

The module code also uses dwMainThreadId for error checking, and may
need similar changes for the Cygwin w32 build. It may be safer to
provide the thread ID from a function to ensure that it has been
initialised before callers try to use it.

That would prbably make sense. What needs to be done to arrange that ?
