I believe this user has the environment set up correctly, otherwise,
other "missing something.h" messages would have appeared before
"missing unistd.h".

unistd, as its name implies, is "Unix Standard", and is not present in
Visual C++, nor in most other Windows compilers (naturally, gcc/Windows
is a notable exception). Fiddling with the environment doesn't help,
unless you're hacking the Visual C++ installation using MinGW-supplied
source files.
