[cairo] Problems compiling cairo under cygwin

[Jakob Curdes]

... cairo is 1.8.8, cygwin is 1.5.25. When I do a configure with

 ./configure --prefix=/usr

and then make, I get


surface.Tpo -c -o cairo-win32-surface.lo cairo-win32-surface.c
libtool: compile:  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I.

cairo-win32-surface.c: In function `_cairo_win32_print_gdi_error':
cairo-win32-surface.c:96: warning: passing arg 5 of `FormatMessageW' 
from incomp
atible pointer type
cairo-win32-surface.c:99: error: implicit declaration of function `fwprintf'
cairo-win32-surface.c:99: warning: nested extern declaration of `fwprintf'

Somebody already reported this error on the cygwin mailing list and also 
to this list, see

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-12/msg00103.html

but I cannot find a discussion or even the original post in the cairo 
list, so I venture to ask again what the problem might be.
The cygwin list post suggests

"It seems the problem is that it does not know about the fwprintf()
function in Win32 environment [cairo-win32-surface.c]. Frankly, Ihaven't 
known about it either ..."



Any hints on this one?
