In so much as this affects a Cygwin packages, it is perfectly on topic

How exactly is 2.8.2 old when it is the latest official release?

That may be the long term solution, but right now we need a working
cmake, and your 2.8.2-1 isn't it.  You want WIN32 defined on Cygwin, but
*we* do not.  As so far as the Cygwin distribution is concerned,
shouldn't the views of those who make the distribution take priority?

Unfortunately we need you to do exactly that until upstream has been
fixed.
