Hmm on investigation only one.
and that is only when configured with
  --with-check-import-case

$(PY_SRC) / python / import.c

and it seems as if only the 
check_case() function needs anything from <windows.h>

Maybe we should write a Cygwin version of check_case
to use the Unix dirent structure and get rid of this dependency
