Python cygwin says:
>>> os.name
'posix'
... and should be treated as that.

There is a problem with CYGWIN environment variable, that you can call
the program from both cygwin and native shell and it should NOT depend
on that. So I think looking whether the python is a cygwin one or a
native one is better.
