Well, the defaults are not selected for Cygwin builds, and they are
okay for normal Windows GDI builds.  But you are right for Cygwin.

I'am aware that -mno-cygwin is no longer supported, but there's
nothing we can do until a working gcc-4 cross compiler exists.
So long we need to use gcc-3 for Windows/GDI builds (or Cygwin).

Yep, that's what I expected, but didn't check (yet).  This may
well be changed...

Wow, that was fast.  I don't know cygport, but I can see one small
glitch: Fluid is called fluid[.exe] and not fluid2, as in FLTK 2,
and the man page is fluid[.man] and not fluid2.
