I don't want to put anything in for cygwin 1.5, as it isn't supported
any more. Supporting old versions of cygwin is too much for me, and
filesystem v3 doesn't work on cygwin 1.5. It will inevitably break
soon (probably in 1.46, but I can't guarantee that it'll work in
1.45). I'm not intending to keep the 1.5 support around, it's there
more out of inertia than anything.
