This isn't a "linux" header file. It is a standard POSIX header file
(and it is proper to #include it in Cygwin) that all UNIX-like systems
are expected to have. Cygwin *does* have this header, you need to use
the proper include path.

Your Visual Studio 2005 environment needs to be set up to use the Cygwin
GCC compiler, linker, and needs the cygwin library and include paths
properly configured in it to work. I've never used Visual Studio 2005
for anything. I don't even know if you can build against cygwin (or any
non-MicroSoft environment) with VS2005. Try using GCC instead.
