I see what you are trying to do here, but I'm not sure it actually adds
any clarity.

I think I'd just prefer to assume the knowledge that WIN32 and CYGWIN
are mutually exclusive, so '#if defined(WIN32)&&  !defined(__CYGWIN__)'
can just be written '#ifdef WIN32'


But this isn't true if you ever #include any of the w32api headers. Then
you get WIN32 defined, even on cygwin...

True. I guess what I meant to say is that there isn't any compiler which defines both WIN32 and CYGWIN (I hope :-)).

Any portable code which includes w32api headers before checking if WIN32 is defined isn't going to be very portable :-)
