Than it should be in the MS Windows headers (which it is, I suppose. I
haven't MingW installed currently to check). No problem with that.
Microsoft's Platform SDK has MAX_PATH in <windef.h> which seems
sensible.

The code in question is covered by an "#ifdef WINVER" so it's only
included for programs that have included <windows.h> or <windef.h>
before <cygwin.h>.
