I would urge people to download the latest snapshot if they encounter
a problem and see whether it has been fixed. Also, the directory
FAQ/FAQ.Known-bugs contains some of the things that are known to be broken,
in doubt or in flux.
This is one of them (that's known to be broken). Likely fix: look at the
.def files in the other directories and copy one over. It's not in today's,
but should be in tomorrow's snapshot.

About the kludge below:
The reason all these things are still broken is that no Win95/cygnus
person submits a usable patch that a) works and b) explains why it works.
So if your time allows, it would be nice to have a "real" patch that
fixes these weird #include problems once and for all.
