Compiled from a Cygwin prompt this prints nothing. So I thought to add
versions: [ "Cygwin" ] to dub.json, but dub refuses.
Error: version identifier `Cygwin` is reserved and cannot be set
Is there any way to force Cygwin or should I resign to creating an
alternative lowercase "cygwin" version?
The use-case is to version stdout.flush() here and there to counter that
the default Cygwin terminal (mintty) doesn't update when text is written
to the terminal. I forget the reason why it doesn't.

You are not using a Cygwin build.
It doesn't matter who calls a process, it doesn't change the version's
by itself.
As far as I know, nobody supports Cygwin like this.
