On Linux, /proc/version also displays the username of the kernel
compiler and the version of gcc used to compile[1].  This patch does the
same for Cygwin:

$ cat /proc/version
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 version 1.7.10(0.238/5/3) (Yaakov@YAAKOV04) (gcc
version 4.5.2 (GCC) ) 2011-03-30 18:56

Patches for winsup/cygwin and winsup/doc attached.
