git 0.99.7b doesn't build on Cygwin

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:

                              ---- ----

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...
