Windows Vista/Server 2008 is still supported, but nobody is actually
testing on it.  No surprise I hope, given the microscopic number of
users on these systems.

Windows Vista/Server 2008 is still supported, but only barely so.
Official support for Vista ended a while ago, official support for
Server 2008 with Service Pack 2 will end in less than a month,
2020-01-14 to be exact.  I'm planning to draw a line in 2020
which will end Cygwin support as well.

Having said that, until 14th of January we're certainly supporting
Vista/2008.  We just failed to notice that the GetProcessGroupAffinity
and GetThreadGroupAffinity functions are missing on Vista/2008.

I'll upload a fixed Cygwin 3.1.1 release pretty soon.
