Interesting.  Wouldn't have thought this would be a portability issue to
cygwin.  I've applied the patch.  Thanks.

I assume you're trying to do in-band communication.  That won't be
supported in Cygwin b/c the only drivers that FreeIPMI supports are
drivers for Linux/Unix.  To my knowledge, the only way to use FreeIPMI
in Cygwin is for out-of-band communication.

Doing some searches online, it's possible to add in-band communication
to FreeIPMI for cygwin, but it's going to be really tough.  It involves
some Windows drivers and doing some kooky things to link it into cygwin
code (don't entirely get it after 5 minutes of reading).  The fact I
don't have a windows box w/ ipmi prohibits me from adding it anytime
soon too.
