It turns out (as pointed out by Jan Dubois) that we've been doing
exactly that since Perl 3:
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/ff8e2863?hp=8725079938
Since about then we've been dying on DOSISH and AMIGA, it's just
Cygwin that's the exception.
Maybe that exception can be removed now? It was just added as a
workaround to get the KDE build system working on Cygwin. It seems odd
to have such a monkeypatch in perl core.
