I think that I was the one to add the __CYGWIN__ changes here. No,
CYGWIN isn't practically unix. It emulates it as well as might be
expected. The function "SLtt_add_color_attribute" is in the source
file sldisply.c, which is not part of the CYGWIN SLang compilation.
SLang has multiple alternate methods of handling video display, which
are platform dependent. This function doesn't exist in the CYGWIN port
of SLang.
