These are Cygwin "system" headers which are only available in the latest
cygwin snapshots at http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/snapshots/ .
Those two include files are standard Microsoft header files that were
missing from the B20.1 release.

They will be in the next release of Cygwin which is due in early January.

AFAIK, "make check" does not work correctly with Cygwin B20.1.  It may
work better with one of the snapshot DLLs but I can't make any guarantees.
We are working on improving this, though.
