Please tell me gcc's preprocessor symbol for CYGWIN (probably
__CYGWIN__ or something similar).  Currently, a proper configure test
is missing in groff to check whether groff-getopt.h has to be included
or not.  Instead, it tests the compiler's ID.

As a quick solution, comment out the

  #include <groff-getopt.h>

line in lib.h.
