Ah. Then my patch certainly isn't having any effect at all, since 
qfile_unix.cpp isn't even being compiled.

I've no specific points in favour of either option, just a general 
observation that when special-case windows file handling code is used, it 
often ends up going behind Cygwin's back, and making the program act more 
Windows-ish than a Cygwin user expects. Plus the win32-g++ mode has 
explicit -D__CYGWIN__ options thrown all over the place, when Cygwin 
compilers have been predefining that symbol for absolutely ages, suggesting 
that might be somewhat bitrotted.

This is all I've been using to build with the system png library:

It seems a little wasteful for doxygen to carry around its own version of 
the code when there's already a package available.
