I didn't mention it (as also the missing functions you later added) - I was
mostly interested in the functionality issue.

The problem:

I decided at the time that someone must have been experimenting with the
makefiles and forgotten to finish the project.

As one of Malcolm's aims is/was to fold the changes we make back into the
Cygwin libW11 I decided that it was easier to replace the original
Makefiles, leave the new GMakefiles largely intact (sole exception being the
top level windows directory Gmakefile) and to ignore the problem as it had
no impact on functionality.
