Sorry, I misread the above sentence.  I need to sleep more, but then I
would be unable to answer so many e-mails :-)

That's not Cygwin-specific.  I missed it in the test.  I don't know why 
do_refresh() is only needed with ncurses - looks like an ad-hoc solution.  
Anyway, I cannot check every line of code, so I'm adding the missing 
include file dialog.h.

I have added an additional test to maint/mctest script.  It will test the
editor with ncurses and most other features disabled.  I still cannot test
all combinations of options.

poptalloca.h doesn't include alloca.h when gcc is used, but then alloca.h
is included from some other file.  This can be specific to Cygwin.

That's quite bad.  It can disable "mc -a" if mc is compiled with ncurses.  
What's the version of ncurses?

As for the syntax highlighting, check if it's enabled in the editor
options.  With the CVS version, syntax highlighting is not optional in the
code - it's always compiled in.
