On Cygwin, when failing to spawn a process using start_command, Git outputs the
same error as on Linux systems, rather than using the GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE-
specific error output.  The WINDOWS test prerequisite is set in both Cygwin and
native Windows environments, which means it's not appropriate to use to
anticipate the error output from start_command.  Instead, use the MINGW test
prerequisite, which is only set for Git in native Windows environments, and not for
Cygwin.

With apologies to folk receiving this multiple times; it looks like my SMTP setup
was causing problems for some servers, and while the mails seemed to be arriving
with me, they didn't seem to be appearing at

I am not convinced this will solve the problem on NonStop where EPERM is reported instead of ENOENT. Apparently EPERM is allowed by POSIX, so text comparison of error messages are not going to work anyway.
