Slavish imitation of Autoconf is bad reasoning.  Good reasoning would 
be, why do they do cyg-, is it important to do cyg-, are there 
well-known other ways to it in the Cygwin universe, what are considered 
to be the best practices.

I'll Google about it.

Incidentally, the choices seem to be between having Autoconf broken, and 
having Autoconf + CMake broken.  I mean, if you had an Autoconf build 
that actually worked properly on Cygwin with respect to "csi -R srfi-1", 
I'd pay more heed to its nomenclature.
