Is win32-nat.c used only for the Cygwin build?  I thought the native
Windows build used it as well (perhaps with a few patches that are not
yet part of the CVS), but maybe I was mistaken.

If I am right, then please make this change, and especially the call
to cygwin_internal, conditioned on __CYGWIN__, or some other
Cygwin-specific symbol.
