Make ip.h and tcp.h work under -fnative-struct or -mms-bitfields

Sorry for my ignorance and noise, but I still want to ask what problems 
could occur if I use u_char instead of u_int to denote bit fields.

Any answer is appreciated.

(Of course I would like to have a header file working across all my 
Windows compilers. Others may appreciate it too.)

Best regards,

Danny's suggestion is correct.  The rest of the header files which 
accomodate this are probably using __attribute__((packed)) .  The 
argument that the header works ok for you on MSVC is a non-issue for cygwin.
