Summary: Windows/Cygwin build fixes

Initial Comment:
In order to build on Cygwin and MinGW cleanly and with a simple build system, the macro 'MSW' should be replaced with the automatic macro '_WIN32' (the preceeding underscore is important).  It should be replaced in all .c and .h files, and can be done using a simple replace, like "sed -i 's|MSW|_WIN32|' *.[ch]".  Then the patch attached fixes a couple of minor Cygwin-specific macro tests.  Also, once MSW is replaced with _WIN32, then this chunk of code can also be removed from m_pd.h:


/* old name for "MSW" flag -- we have to take it for the sake of many old
"nmakefiles" for externs, which will define NT and not MSW */
#if defined(NT) && !defined(MSW)
#define MSW
#endif
