We built the windows version of otrproxy with the mingw compiler, not
cygwin.  And we actually did it on a Linux box, cross-compiling for
Windows.  And no one's looked at that code for years.  So I'm afraid I'm
at a loss to help, unfortunately.  :-(

[There's always the possibility of using a debugger/disassembler to find
where in the binary the check for port 5190 is being done, and NOP it
out.  But that's me channelling my Apple ][ days.  :-p ]
