Summary: Cygwin sys.platform/get_platform() patch

Initial Comment:
This patch corrects sys.platform and distutils.util.get_platform()
problems caused by the cruft contained in Cygwin's uname -s.

Please see the following for the gory details:

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2001-05/msg00106.html

Note that the above also solicited input from the community in an
attempt to prevent any potential heartache.  Since no one responded
it would appear that either the changes are acceptable or that no one
really cares... :,)

Reassigned to Andrew, he seems to be taking care of
distutils of late.

I noticed that Python 2.2a1 has been released.  I have had requests from
Cygwin Python users for this patch and I would very much like to get it
into Python 2.2.

Greg, if you are too busy to evaluate this patch, then please reassign
it to someone else who has more cycles.  Thanks.

Assigned to GregW.  Greg, note that since Cygwin is really 
a Unix derivative, your primary concern is probably just 
that this doesn't break other Unixoid systems.
