Cygwin port of Perl broken on Win32? Or does Cygwin not run on win32?

[linda w <cygwin at tlinx dot org>]

I was told this is a problem specific to Cygwin -- that Cygwin believes
it isn't runing on a Win platform.  Is this true?  I knowt he goal is to 
provide
posix compatibility, but that doesn't mean it has to strive for windows
incompatibility unless it breaks posix compatibility ...no?  yes?  maybe?
