The only platform which this affects is Cygwin, we (the Cygwin package
maintainers) regard this as a bug, and therefore are not concerned with
backward compatibility.

Let me make this clear: with WIN32 defined, CMake is practically
*useless* to us on Cygwin, as it requires patching almost every
CMake-based package to build correctly.  With WIN32 undefined, almost
all packages build OOTB.  Simple as that.  Shouldn't we -- the users and
distributors of Cygwin -- have the final say as to how Cygwin should be
handled?
