Please use BSD files, not glibc, for licensing reasons.

We can add the definition of MAX_IPOPTLEN to /usr/include/netinet/ip.h
for Cygwin 2.3.0, as on Linux.

Let's see if Gernot is still available.  There was no update to tftp
since early 2012.  Gernot, you're still with us?  Care to chime in
here?  Thanks.

Whatever the outcome, the tftp.h header should stay with the inetutils
or tftp package, otherwise we need to manage a smooth handover to the
Cygwin package.  As for icmp6.h, we could include the FreeBSD version
with Cygwin 2.3.0.
