Its meaning is undefined outside of Windows. Undefined means unreliable and therefore, not useful as a test to decide what to do on arbitrary platforms. Also, on Cygwin you would use regtool and parse things differently anyway, while Cygwin users tend to be educable enough that if they want to use kdiff or whatever, they'll symlink it or otherwise put it on their path.
