Add "Environment :: Cygwin (MS Windows)" as a classifier as some modules, such as mine, work on Windows but only via the Cygwin POSIX layer (www.cygwin.com)

Request to add a new Trove classifier.

The name of the classifier(s) you would like to add:

  • 'Environment :: Cygwin (MS Winows)'

Why do you want to add this classifier?

My module (getdevinfo) works on Windows but only via the Cygwin POSIX layer. I don't know how many other modules this is true for, but I imagine, given the number of Linux-only libraries and applications that can be run under Cygwin, that the list could potentially be quite big.

Just running the make lint step, and it reports that the new classifier should come before the GPU one, in order for it to be in alphabetical order. Is that desirable, as it would then not be next to the other Windows classifier?

They should be alphabetized, thanks!
