They are happy to accomodate us. Some of the problems we have are
shared with the wine project, so the advantages are partially mutual.
Mingw64 has already a header called _cygwin.h which is indirectly
included if a Cygwin project includes any Windows header. It's no
problem to add
#ifdef __CYGWIN64__
#define _WIN64
#endif
to this file.
