Hmm. I just looked again at the patch, and it doesn't change the native
(non-cygwin) logic at all -- it only changes the Cygwin-specific logic --
so don't see a need to test it on native (non-cygwin).

Bernard, David, if you can try current trunk under Cygwin and report if
the patch has the intended effect (i.e. works with the patch, fails
without it) it would be great.

Meanwhile, won't we also need a committer with a Cygwin build environment
to commit this change? How do we usually handle Cygwin-specific patches?
