So this beautiful annoyance came up during an email-driven
troubleshooting session:
checking build system type... x86_64-pc-cygwin
checking host system type... x86_64-pc-mingw32
and over a dozen mingw-related hits before erroring out on libassuan:
Libassuan v has been configured as follows:

Would be tempting to just uninstall MinGW, but the newcomer needs it for
other stuff. How can we teach Cygwin to ignore MinGW?
