The old cygwin support used -pc-windows-cygnus as the config. This is
supported by LLVM, but not by GNU. This will change it to -pc-cygwin,
which is more generally supported.
Because the kernel is now 'cygwin' rather than 'windows', isWindows will
return false. There are lots of different reasons isWindows is used in
nixpkgs, but in my experience they often have to do with posix
compatibility and don't apply to cygwin.

It was voluntarily retired. Still, it's used in some projects.
Specifically, openvswitch ships some files under lib/sflow*[ch] under
this license.
This license will be added to both openvswitch and ovn packages (the
latter embeds openvswitch libraries, including sflow).
Allows marking an option as invisible, without excluding its sub-options.
In practice, this is similar to `visible = true; internal = true;`,
however it is more explicit and less reliant on implementation details.
renamed `mac` to `octets` in hextets combining step for better var
naming; rephrased error message to provide a hint of expected format;
replaced `Arguments` with `Inputs` in docstring; added more test cases
for invalid hex digits; added comments in hextets combining step;
A Cross Index, short for Cross Platform Pair Index, is the essential
shape of a splice, without the invoking the more mind bending concept
of adding variations of for these 6 pairings to an existing thing so
that it can be switched out for something else.
So the purpose of a Cross Index is to contain the result of `f`\
(which may be reified in code, or just an abstract concept):
- f "build" "build"
- f "build" "host"
- ...
Splicing on the other hand refers not just to these six variants, but
to the idea of tacking them onto one of the variants. (hostTarget,
I believe)
Cross Indexes are a necessity for making cross compilation work, but
splicing is more than necessary.
