Sorry if you consider it hasty, but after another cygwin user
complaining I decided to apply it, thinking it can not really make
anything worse.
If you have complaints about it I'll try to fix it soonish (e.g. I think
there probably should be some configure logic for all this, but since it
is currently such an OS-specific mess I am unsure how to do it best).
