Hmmmmm...only one question, since I don't have Cygwin to play with: how is
the "machine" in cygwin determined? You seem to go with the
"os-release-machine" format, so I assume cygwin does distinguish the
machines, but I have no idea wht the possibilities are.

Comment:
This patch adds support for Cygwin to util.get_platform(). A Cygwin
specific case is needed due to the format of Cygwin's uname command:

$ uname -r
1.1.7(0.31/3/2)

Since the release field contains slashes, a path component name that
is based on this information becomes multiple path components instead
of a single one.

This patch corrects this problem by only using the leading part of the
release field that matches the regular expression "[\d.]+".

The procedure to apply the patch is as follows:

$ cd Lib/distutils
$ # save util.patch to the current directory
$ patch <util.patch
