    Set $LMI_HOST even for cygwin
    
    $LMI_HOST indicates the '--host' triplet. It has hitherto been globally
    defined only for cross-compilation, and until recently the presence of
    a global definition had accordingly although regrettably been used to
    distinguish between native (cygwin) and cross (debian) msw builds; but
    that regrettable practice is no longer followed. Thus, it is now safe
    to define $LMI_HOST globally on all build platforms, as may be seen by
    examining every use throughout lmi:
    
    Files not used with cygwin:
      gwc/.zshrc
      msw_generic.make
    Applicable code not reachable with cygwin:
      configuration.make
    $LMI_HOST locally defined if not in global environment:
      install_libxml2_libxslt.make
      install_wx.sh
      install_wxpdfdoc.sh
    A global $LMI_HOST will be needed for cygwin with gcc-8:
      workhorse.make
    
    The present commit of course doesn't introduce a variable into the
    global environment, but it comes close, by setting $LMI_HOST in the
    'install_msw.sh' script that invokes the other scripts and makefiles
    used for building lmi.
