ip.h & tcp.h

[Wu Yongwei]

Um, no one willing to answer?

OK, I am changing my request now. CAN CYGWIN DROP IP.H AND TCP.H IN
DISTRIBUTION FOR NOW?

Reasons:

1. They are empty and so they do not help. They may even frustrate users
because it is more difficult to find the cause from a lot of parse errors
than a simple "cannot find xxx.h" or so.

2. They harms. I have put new ip.h and tcp.h under /usr/include/netinet to
ease compilation of *NIX code. But they will be overwritten sometimes by
updating my Cygwin installation.

Best regards,

Wu Yongwei
