    "Win32" is the proper name of MS-Windows API; I believe this is the
    reason for the name of the option.

It's the Microsoft-chosen name, indeed.  I don't think we should
accept the idea that we should use a name that praises Microsoft
just because Microsoft chose it.

    I don't know who maintains the Cygwin Make, but Chris Faylor...

Thanks.
