I have a universal .bashrc file that I use on Linux, Cygwin
and the occasional FreeBSD or NetBSD systems.  In it I make
use of "uname -s" to handle peculiarities like this:

  case "$(uname -s)" in
      Linux)   echo "Do Linux-specific stuff here"   ;;
      CYGWIN*) echo "Do Cygwin-specific stuff here"  ;;
      *BSD)    echo "Do BSD-specific stuff here"     ;;
      *)       echo "No support for $(uname -s) yet" ;;
  esac


I also have come to prefer the Cygwin "putclip" and "getclip"
to the Linux "xclip".  But not all platforms have both, so
this portion of my universal .bashrc protects putclip/getclip
if they exist or otherwise creates them out of xclip if it
exists.

  if [ -n "$(type -P xclip)" ]; then
      test -z "$(type -P putclip)" && \
          alias putclip="$(type -P xclip) -sel clip -i"
      test -z "$(type -P getclip)" && \
          alias getclip="$(type -P xclip) -sel clip -o"
      alias xclip='xclip -sel clip'
  fi
