Cygwin 1.6 is on par with 1.5 feature-wise, so your cutoff of 1.6 as the

Thanks for explaining.

ifeq ($(shell case '$(uname_R)' in (1.[1-6].*) echo old;; esac),old)

Looks good to me.

While I have your attention, do you know of a simple way to test
Cygwin programs under Linux?  setup.exe does not work well under wine,
so I am asking mostly in the hope that there is a .tar.gz or .zip
binary distribution somewhere I could play with.

Thanks,
