Sure.
This might not be of much interest for the headers in the include/cygwin
subdir, but there are applications out there which test for such header
defines, and there are also applications using system-specific headers
liberally. Out of curiosity I had a look and none of the Linux/glibc
headers seem to use #pragma once either for some reason.
An alternative might be something like
#pragma once
#define _CYGWIN_IF_H_
It would introduce the new pragma and keep the definition available.
