Thanks for the patch, Rick!

I've applied it to 21.5.

Everything worked except the X-only Cygwin build, which failed to link because of undefined externals from src/intl-auto-encap-win32.c. I'm not sure if this file should even be used in an X-only build. It's also not clear how common an X-only build on Cygwin is, or if this issue is even worth fixing. An X-only build is an option, however, which is why I tested it.
