Universality is somewhat relative. :)  Those keystrokes were in Windows
3.0 and early OS/2's (and Ctrl+X, C, & V weren't).  But with Win 3.1,
they adopted the Mac conventions (instead of Cmd+X ... it was Ctrl+X
...) and just kept those old keys for backwards compatibility.  Modern
Win programs don't have Shift+Insert ... on their Edit menus.  

But most people -- especially those using Cygwin! -- don't have a
problem with overloaded CTRL key functions.  When in vi, I certainly
don't expect my NoteTab Pro CTRL keys to work.  :)
