Cygwin's regex library does not pass git's tests, so don't use it. This
fixes failures in t4018 and t4034.

Hmm, these tests have always passed for me on cygwin. So, this is
presumably a regression in the new-lib regex library versions used
by cygwin 1.5 and cygwin 1.7.

Perhaps we should just completely separate cygwin 1.5 settings from 
those for current cygwin. Extra motivation is that cygwin 1.5 is no 
longer on the mirrors - the last real update was mid 2009, and the 
project finally removed the installation tree altogether.
