It does, at least in my tests. I have found one thing that needs to be
chagned for terminal server sessions, and then I need to update the build
system to use it on mingw as well. Will do that and then commit.

I *think* so. I *think* the CYGWIN port does not rely on #ifdef WIN32s
anymore (which is corret given that it's not really win32). If I do a grep
of the sourcecode, I get a bunch of things like
./utils/mmgr/mcxt.c:#if defined(WIN32) || defined(__CYGWIN__)
which would indicate that at least some places know they're different.
I can include removal of those in my change, but I'm not in a position to
test them myself. I guess we could do it and see if the buildfarm breaks,
and if that revert it.
