I think that's OK.  There will never be another Emacs release for Cygwin 
1.5 (which was frozen at 1.5.25), so the change will only affect people 
who are running Cygwin 1.5.19, don't want to upgrade to 1.5.25, *and* 
want to build a modern Emacs from source.  This seems pretty unlikely, 
and any such person can just revert my change before building.
