Why the !defined(NO_LIBGEN_H)

Shouldn't CYGWIN always behave the same ?

One would assume... Alas, it does not.

I inherited the code in question and wondered the same. I opted for
keeping the code as a documentation of the differing behavior.

The main problem is, that t0060 fails under Mac OS (with mac ports
installed):
expecting success: test-path-utils dirname
error: FAIL: dirname(//) => '/' != '//'

See the patch I sent this morning.
