because it won't work with DJGPP/Cygwin without w32api

it should work fine using Mingw or DJGPP GNU tools

note that we are speaking actually about MSVC build, just using Cygwin
GNU tools

-----------------------------------

To make msvcpaths default I see two solutions:

-- build msvchelp.c using MSVC - I have no idea why it isn't already
   done this way
-- use msvchelp rewritten in VBscript - much faster, not
   much tested, needs WSH (IIRC part of Windows since w2000,
   may require installation for w9x)
