win32api is provided only for the current cygwin release series, which can
be reliably identified by having dll version 1.7.x, while the older frozen
releases (dll versions 1.6.x from redhat, 1.5.x open source) still have the
older api as no updates are being made for the legacy version(s).

Ah.  That makes sense, thanks.

(For the future, if we wanted to diagnose an out-of-date win32api and
print a helpful message, I guess cygcheck would be the command to use.)
