Under non NT windows OS the attempt to correctly
detect the OSTYPE fails. I am running cygwin version
1.3.10 under Windows 98. The uname command returns
CYGWIN_98-4.10 which is not one of the strings listed
in the check for windows OS/cygwin. There has to be a
better way to do this. I am looking for other cygwin
shell commands that would provided better info than
uname or possible finding another way around this
issue altogether. For example just define OSTYPE!

    I think that searching CYGWIN inside OSTYPE could be
    accepted as generic CYGWIN platform.
    I'll modify makefiles to support this type of detection.
    I only have to test it against B-20.
