Hi,
I had the same problems while trying to port AbiWord to Borland's
C++ free compiler. All OBJ's and LIB's are compiled fine, but
AbiWord.EXE can't be linked. My guess is that both the Cygwin and
the Borland guys have older versions of the Windows LIB's that do
not include new features like Wheel-Mice. I also had to copy
ZMOUSE.H from VC++ to Borland's \INCLUDE dir, then everything
compiled fine but shortly before linking it crashed.
Hisham, I am very interested in your patch. Perhaps if we combine
our two patches, we can use a free compiler under Win =;)

Just my opinion.
