Especially as csih-0.9.x requires cygwin-1.7.

I've uploaded a csih-0.9.5-1 as a 'test' release.  Changes:

* native/Makefile: Avoid -mno-cygwin and gcc3; use mingw cross compiler.
* native/winProductName.c (GetOSDisplayString): Support
   Windows 8 and Windows Server 8. Improve support for various
   Microsoft OS products.
* New functions csih_is_windows8(), csih_is_exactly_windows8(),
   and csih_is_exactly_windows8server().
* In csih_account_has_necessary_privileges(), no longer attempt to
   validate membership in Administrators group -- the test doesn't
   work properly on domains anyway. Just try to set the necessary
   rights and report error if the operation fails. Reported by
   Corinna Vinschen.
* In csih_create_privileged_user(), don't attempt to check whether
   /usr/bin/passwd has the -e option; all versions of passwd shipped
   with cygwin-1.7.x support it. Reported by Tom Schutter.
* Fixed bug related to the various existing csih_is_exactly_*
   functions.
