I don't think it should. Cygwin in general is supposed to be Unix-like and
not Win32-like. For example, IIRC it does not use the native win32
implementation of semaphores either.

Actually, I was wondering whether the cygwin port could use this new
code too, so that we could get rid of the __CYGWIN__ kluges in
sysv_shmem.c.  This patch seems not to do that.
