You can use libddraw.a and headers from John Fortin.  There is a link at
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/xfree.

Chris,

I gave the Cygwin headers another go and was able to, eventually, compile
with them.  One minor pain I encountered will manually including the Cygwin
Win32 API headers was that a macro used by winnt.h was defined in windows.h,
but not in winnt.h; to compile I had to copy the macro out of windows.h and
past it into my source file as I show at the end of my email.  Of course, it
would be nice if this macro was defined somewhere other than windows.h... :)

I will still need to access a couple DirectDraw functions from XWin.exe; I
notice that /lib/libddraw.a exists but there is not a /usr/include/ddraw.h.
Can I expect a ddraw.h header anytime soon?  Or, should I stick with the
Wine header for that?  (I'd really like to move away from Visual C++, to
open this project up to as many developers as possible).

For now I'll use the Cygwin Win32 API headers, as below.  Thanks for kicking
me and making me try again :)
