Does the alternative patch below also work?  I'd like to avoid
ifdef's, if possible.  If you still see a warning, please show the
64-bit Cygwin definitions for DWORD, DWORD_PTR, HANDLE, and HKL.

The Microsoft compiler emits much more warnings than even the latest
picky versions of GCC, so I'm quite sure it also warns here, and the
warning is (quite correctly) ignored.
