One more question, does anyone tried to build sctplib using cygwin?
Here is link to page with source code I'm talking about:

http://www.sctp.de/sctp-download.html

The most important for me is package named 'socketapi', because it
provides API documented in set of RFC documents about SCTP protocol
API. I have talked with sctplib developers and they said that so far
none had tried to build it for win32.

This is the very sort of thing that Cygwin was made for: using standard POSIX code under Windows. In many cases, code can be compiled with no changes at all. The end result is that you will have a bit of extra overhead and a dependency on Cygwin, in exchange for very little programming effort, and benefit from future improvements to the original library.
