Changes to make it compilable in recent Cygwin environment

[h0ly0ne]

Fixed path errors to get the header chain working correctly.
Additionally added required seperation for Cygwin environment to wintypes header

Why do you want to use pcsc-lite on cygwin instead of the PC/CS library provided by Windows?
What is you use case?

I am just experimenting with the possibility to replace the windows based PCSC drivers/system that is failing on a daily basis (and has ACL/permission issues on windows) - and the winscard.dll seems to behave the same way (when used with cygwin) as it depends on the components from windows.

I am working on using meson to build pcsc-lite.
The current code is in https://github.com/LudovicRousseau/PCSC-debug/tree/meson

To rebuild on msys2 I need only one small patch:

diff --git a/meson.build b/meson.build
index 29caee12..de999951 100644
--- a/meson.build

 endif
 features +=  conf_data.get_unquoted('PCSC_ARCH')
 pcscd_dep += [polkit_dep, systemd_dep]

And I call meson with:

meson setup builddir -Dlibudev=false -Dpolkit=false -Dlibsystemd=false

Of course the binary does not work:

$ /sbin/pcscd.exe -fd

meson is now included in pcsc-lite 2.2.1

pcsc-lite builds fine on cygwin with the patch I proposed.

I do not see any benefit to have pcsc-lite on Windows. So I do not plan to add support for this platform. But feel free to use it.

Do you really use pcsc-lite on Windows?
What is you use case?
