There probably need to be two macros, and the developer chooses one:
"This package uses win32 when built on cygwin"
"This package does not use win32 when built on cygwin"

which will test and set -mwin32 or =mno-win32 appropriately.

I'm moving house this weekend so there's no chance of a patch just yet
;) Also I have no idea on the autoconfize script so perhaps if I can
whip up the two macros above someone else can do the autoconfize stuff?

Until late last week no final decision on the compiler behaviour had
been made. The cygwin-apps list has a little more detail on this.
