Hm. I went through the code on the site, and I couldn't find any
problems; unistd.h doesn't seem to be required by any of the code in the
patch either..
I wish I could help, but I'd be lying. Try to compile it through
the IDE and find out what symbol it's erroring on. It looks like ...

You're trying to call a function _() ... That probably indicates a
cut and paste error, a patch which did not go in cleanly (such as having
lines start with '+'s or '-'s), or other similiar issues. It could also
indicate that your ouput got chopped up too ...
Since I used some string functions, and windows likes to rename
those to start with underscores, if not renaming them altogether
(strcasecmp -> _stricmp, etc) .. that would be my first suspect. However,
standard windows includes have macros which correctly remap the 'normal'
version of those functions to the win32 versions.
All the same, I'd go through the patch one line at a time, and
validate that the files you have are identical.
