[bug] wordexp.h is not C++ friendly

[Jeff Johnston]

Sorry to hear you are having problems.  I have added the __cplusplus 
wrapper to wordexp.h.  There also was a recently discovered issue with a 
recent patch that was breaking Cygwin builds that was patched today as well.

If you experience further problems, please post to the Cygwin list and 
here as well.
