Hi Teemu, First of all, we need a copyright assignment from you before we can accept non-trivial patches to Cygwin, see http://cygwin.com/contrib.html, the "Before you get started" section.

Windows 8 will very likely support the FAST_CWD stuff, the problem is just to find out how to find the global pointer pointing to the current FAST_CWD structure, and then, if the FAST_CWD structure changed. Having this annoying message at startup was intentional, so that we know that there's some work to do yet. However, personally I don't plan to look into W8 so soon. Stuff like that is bound to change this early in the release game anyway. Therefore I don't want to disable this message. If you're interested to get rid of it, it would be most helpful trying to track down how to find the global FAST_CWD pointer in W8.
