That should either be "prior to 1.04" or "1.03 or earlier".

I did copy them though I opted to put them in /usr/local/include.

endian.h only serves to include sys/param.h, which is in B20 and 1.1.
backend/libpq/pqformat.c is the only file to reference endian.h and
should get its BYTE_ORDER from sys/param.h.

sys/un.h is used but is supplied in 1.1 though not B20.

netinet/tcp.h is empty and is not in either Cygwin package. Two files
include it. It is necessary, being non-empty in UNIX. I guess that
it is needed to define TCP_NODELAY. The canonical header for that is
xti.h in UNIX95 onwards. Older unices had it in netinet/tcp.h. Cygwin
has it in winsock.h and cygwin/socket.h. I presume that one of those
is included indirectly.

So your list should have a new item inserted between 5 and 6 ( -> 7 ).

"""
6. Copy <PostgreSQL>/src/win32/tcp.h to <Cygwin>/include/netinet/.
(For versions of Cygwin prior to 1.1 see src/win32/README.)
