It shouldn't be using cygwin's sys/types.h at all. What is potentially
happening is that the search for a Tcl installation is picking up the
cygwin version of Tcl. For a VC++ build, this isn't meant to happen; but
Bart just happened to be looking at this today and has checked some fixes
into our internal source tree to prevent it happening in future.
But for you right now, what you need to do is make sure that in the custom
build step in VC++, the libcdl configure macro is invoked with a --with-tcl
argument that points to a valid installation of Scriptics TCL.
Once you do get going, I'd be interested if you could submit a patch for
the README to clarify the areas where you think it could be improved.
