Unfortunate ouput from uname -s

Hi

I think the output from uname -s is unfortunate. 
If I recall correctly in prints CYGWIN32/NT which is unforunate
because I cannot trivially construct a file name from it (because of the
slash) as I can on SunOS, HP-UX, AIX, IRIX etc.

CYGWIN32_NT would be a better name.
