I'm not sure about this. The "ddk" folder is part of (at least mine) cygwin 
installation, and it's where the ntddndis.h file is located.

I think this comes from the fact that (at least in the past) getaddrinfo and 
freeaddrinfo are not available on cygwin. I think my current installation of 
cygwin (9 months old) still lacks those functions.
