I'm sorry, I can't tell you why this doesn't work.  Cygwin's setsockopt
function is basically just a shim between application and Winsock's
setsockopt call.  It only performs special actions on a very limited
set of options, only two actually: (SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR) and
(IPPROTO_IP, IP_TOS).  I'm also quite multicast illiterate.  Is it
possible that you have to use the IP_MULTICAST_IF option on Windows
before you can use IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP?!?
