Thanks.  That got me past src/helpers.cpp.  Unfortunately, the build 
blew up on the next module src/gtk/_core_wrap.cpp at line 37543: 
error class wxWindow has no member named 'SetDoubleBuffered'.  As 
near as I can tell that's defined in include/wx/gtk/window.h, but not 
in include/wx/msw/window.h.

I thought the Cygwin version was supposed to use the msw facilities, 
not the gtk facilities.  Is this right?
