@Greg: You have much more experience with Cygwin than I do (since my
actual experience is zero).  Nevertheless, historically there has been
lots of warnings on the CMake list that Cygwin users _must_ use the
Cygwin version of CMake and not the generic Windows version.  So
because Arjen has had success with comprehensive testing on Cygwin in
the past with that approach, and you are currently not having such
success with a generic version of CMake rather than the Cygwin
version, I drew the conclusion you should try the Cygwin version of
CMake.

@Arjen:

Do you still use the Cygwin version of CMake for your Cygwin
tests or is that historical advice no longer relevant so that the
generic Windows version of CMake that you can download for Kitware
gives good results for you?
