Cygwin and Mingw support attempt #61

Adding Cygwin and Mingw support possibly should not be attempted simultaneously. Cygwin (in theory) provides more complete POSIX layer, so (in theory) metastore could work there without big effort. Mingw is a slightly different thing, and even though in general I prefer Mingw-w64 over Cygwin, I'm not sure I want to support non-POSIX systems in foreseeable future.

There is also midipix, which could be potentially supported beside Cygwin for Windows. Details would need to be investigated.
