When I said to define something I really meant use #define.  I was
hoping that most of the #ifdef __CYGWIN__ and __USE_OLD_CYGWIN_API stuff
could be encapsulated at the top of the file.  I've taken a rough stab
at implementing what I meant and it does seem feasible but I don't have
the time to do much right now (to say nothing of being not-extremely-interested
in maintaining old Cygwin or MinGW versions).

I'll send my proof-of-concept along sometime today.
