 Two hardcoded timeouts default valued make some tests fail on Cygwin
 (presumably because Cygwin is slow, and forking is horribly slow):
 * sage/tests/cmdline.py, the timeout value (current default 50.0 secs) of
 test_executable;
 * sagenb/misc/misc.py, the alarm value (current default 1 sec) when
 launcing the notebook (which makes lauching the notebook tricky.
 See http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6743#comment:144 and

 Just slightly (from a human point of view) increasing these values let the
 tests pass on recent and even not so recent and powerful harware running
 Cygwin, so let's increase these default values unconditionnally rather
 than adding Cygwin specific code, or warnings about expected to fail tests
 or whatever; let's say:
 * 100.0 secs in test_executable,
 * 5 secs when launching the notebook.
