I'm not the Cygwin cmake package maintainer, so I would prefer to work 
with/through him rather than springing such a change on him via upstream 
without notice.

I'm talking about the CMake WIN32 define, not the CPP #define.  Either 
way, neither should be on for Cygwin (as is the default for gcc), since 
Cygwin is a *NIX/X11 platform which has almost nothing in common with 
WIN32.  Having built a number of packages with CMake, both in and out of 
KDE, I can tell you that grouping CYGWIN and WIN32 together is almost 
always wrong.

So yes, I do intend to pursue removing the WIN32 CMake define for Cygwin.
