two differents version of unctrl.h, one in cygwin-1.1.7 and one in ncurses-5.2

[Robert Collins]

Oops. Must remember there is nothing to learn from the experience of distributors like Red hat, the debian volunteers, the *BSD
groups.

I agree it depends on the package distributor and platform. However cygwin is deliberately unix like, and most of the non-bug
problems mentioned on this list are unix like problems. How do I run a binary not in my path under bash. How do I set screen
colours. How do I compile a program.

GCC, the most common compiler in use under cygwin (I feel pretty safe with this assumption) is the tool that will be faced with two
include files of the same name, and the issue of getting the right one *has* been solved by *distributors* on platforms where the
cygwin differences shouldn't affect the solution for this issue.
