So, do I understand correctly that the above conditional should be
something like

 #if defined(WIN32) && !defined(__CYGWIN__)

to allow dropping the CYGWIN_V15_WIN32API setting?

"defined(WIN32)" is used throughout git to mean "win32 and not
cygwin", so if I understand correctly we would either need to do

 #if defined(WIN32) && defined(__CYGWIN__)
 # undef WIN32
 #endif

or define a new GIT_WIN32 (name is just a placeholder) macro to use
consistently in its stead.

Thanks for investigating.
