git 0.99.7b doesn't build on Cygwin

[Peter TB Brett <peter@peter-b.co.uk>]

Hi folks,

I wanted to use git on a Windows-based project (yes, there are some
out there still), so I fired up my Cygwin xterm, untarred the git
sources and totally failed to succeed in building them:

                              ---- ----

$ make

                              ---- ----

It looks like the sort of problems I get when I'm missing header
files, but all the headers #included by connect.c are present on my
system, so I'm really not sure what's going on there...
