Add support for Windows 8, first step

[Teemu Nätkinniemi]

Hello!

Here's a small patch that enables Cygwin to run on Windows 8 (tested on 
x64 build 8102, the Windows Developer Preview). Windows 8 does not seem 
to support FAST_CWD or the current implementation of FAST_CWD is not 
compatible with Windows 8 so it is disabled at the moment.
