This is a slip-up in my patch 0f77dea, but I don't quite understand
why this didn't cause any troubles until now... I guess the MSVC parts
of Makefile are somehow more dependent on LIB_H or something...

Junio, is it too late to squash in a fix-up? If it is, I can send a
fixup-patch instead...
I can queue this for v1.7.8-rc1 if you want, as it is a fix whether or not
we define MSVC or not while building.

Subject: [PATCH] mingw: poll.h is no longer in sys/

Earlier we moved this header file in the code but forgot to
update the Makefile that refers to it.

It seems, from your description, that msvc update series has some way to
go and it probably is better to be cooked by Windows-savvy folks for
another cycle. Which would mean that your upload-archive series is still
good to go as long as it works for non-MSVC/mingw people, right?
