Probably the right thing to do then is to construct a cross-platform
test-file for mmsystem.h and use that to do the test instead of the
standard BRLCAD_INCLUDE_FILE macro.

Daniel, since you're seeing the issue right now can you construct a
small .c file that makes the tests needed for mmsystem.h?  I'll see if
I can't wire it into the build in place of the current inadequate test
- I've got a couple thoughts on what CMake logic is needed in such
situations, and this will be a good reason to figure it out - there
are at least a few other situations where the standard CMake macros
are insufficient to test what needs testing, so a general approach
needs to be put in place.

Thanks,
Cliff
