Here's some followups for your suggestions, and a patch to make them so.

I made necessary changes (see attached .patch) to move the cygwin stuff
into the sub-directory. I did not make any changes for the mingw stuff.

I took most of the cygwin stuff out of the root makefile (except for a
one-liner that calls down into the cygwin-specific makefile). If you'd
rather not even have that one-liner in there, please feel free to
remove it, but then also please update my cygwin-specific README to
match.

I moved it to a sub-directory of <top_builddir>/packages/Win32/cygwin,
so as long as different "build-dirs" are used, simultaneous builds
should be OK now.
