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.
