I have not yet made up my mind about NX_COMPAT which may be useful to
have anyway (but just like ASLR is hard to get definitive documentation
on what it actually does on which version of Windows).

I still think that just because it was Cygwin that uncovered that false
assumption there'd still be other toolchains which might need (or even
just want) to have different defaults. So my request is still to a) have
proper configure options to set these defaults and b) not conflate them
into a single setting unless they really belong together.

Achim.
