  Look at winsup/cygwin/devices.in, which is a template that is used to
auto-generate the code in winsup/cygwin/devices.cc, using the
winsup/cygwin/gendevices script.

  Note that on mainline (as opposed to the 1.5.x release branch), the number
appears to have been raised to 64 quite some time ago.
