I need this on several machines at work, so I will package it up in a tar.bz2 for use with setup.exe. Once tested I'll post it back here.

I have been trying to compile up Win32::API perl module under Cygwin's perl.
The latest version off CPAN doesn't build (see below).

just the new-style win32 callbacks do not work that way with gcc. old style it worked, but backporting seemed to much effort for me.
I have found some refernces to patches people have applied to get it working in the past. In particular Win32:API version 0.20.
http://anfaenger.de/cygwin/libwin32/Win32-API-0.20cygwin/
But I was unable to get that working either, maybe because the Cygwin.dll and/or Perl (v5.8.2) has moved on since that patch was done?
I was wondering if anyone has got it working for themselves?
If not, I'd really appreciate someone taking a look. I am happy to do some of my own dirty work, but I have little knowledge of the Cygwin.dll so I really struggle to know where to look. I gather Win32::API is relying on a hook that the Cygwin.dll is not providing?
All I really need this for is to call a procedure in a DLL, that does some port IO for me. At the moment my work around is to use Active State perl, for which Win32::API does build, but it would be better to only have one version of Perl around.
