for some reason my cygwin install does not have inttypes.h in
/usr/include.  i searched the archives, which suggested it may be in /etc
under a different name - but alas, it was not there.

a simple 'find . | grep' yielded it in /usr/include/mingw, so i included
that dir also for include files just to get past that hang up in the
configure script, but then the next hang up is in the

gcc: unrecognized option `-pthread'

which i can't seem to get around.  i'm trying to compile any version of
mplayer with cygwin 2.340.25.
