Is there a standard Cygwin 'idiom' or function for
dealing with this mismatch, or should I just re-invent
the wheel.

Seems like I read (skimmed) something related to this
in the Cygwin manual, probably near the back in the 
programming introduction....

I know I picked up the concept somewhere (somewhere 
recent that is, as I have dealt with this across at
least five different OS conventions but not recently
and specifically on Cygwin.)
