That we don't define _WIN32 - actual we do internally but don't show
it to includer - is done by intention.  Actual Corinna and I decided
that this behavior is for cygwin the desired.
If you need to define _WIN32 then please do it within your
source-file, but don't expect that it gets defined for you by some
psdk-headers.
