Cygwin 1.6 is on par with 1.5 feature-wise, so your cutoff of 1.6 as the
last old version is correct.

It would be nice to use fewer processes, since forking is so expensive
on cygwin:

ifeq ($(shell case '$(uname_R)' in 1.[1-6].*) echo old;; esac),old)

But does that work to have unbalanced ) in a makefile $(shell)?  On the
other hand, this is already in a chunk guarded by $(uname_S) being
cygwin, and we know that cygwin shells understand:

ifeq ($(shell case '$(uname_R)' in (1.[1-6].*) echo old;; esac),old)

even though it is not portable to other shells, like Solaris /bin/sh.
