Indeed -- wanted to be explicit for those not know that the space
in-between the lines is important! ;-)

	Yup -- I use the same site-wide login scripts (for me & root and
multi-machine) on linux and cygwin and regularly make sure to copy and test
them on both -- not to mean I don't have cygwin specific sections that
key off OS:
  if ! type -f cygwin 2>/dev/null ; then 
    read SYSTEM_KERNEL HOSTNAME OSTYPE <<<"$($_prg_uname -sno)"
    if [[ $OSTYPE =~ Cygwin ]]; then sub cygwin () { return 0; }
    else sub cygwin () { return 1; }
    fi
    export -f cygwin
  fi
# and some cygwin-only defs in /etc/local/cygwin, like
alias gvim='setsid gvim'              # ensure win-native vim backgrounds properly

and a version of "mklink" that runs in bash and uses the
*nix syntax of "mklink <from> <to>" (and auto-handles directories)
