There is plenty of material about winding numbers in Cauchy_Integral_Theorem. The theory Winding_Numbers contains more advanced and obscure results, some of which are direct consequences of the Jordan curve theorem, which is why they depend on so much other material.

I recall that Wenda had some problems with them (about what happens when there's a pole on the path) – perhaps it would make sense to give that theory an overhaul altogether? Perhaps he can chime in on this; he probably knows much more about this than I do.
