What about winsup/cygwin/include/sys/version.h?  There is already stuff
like the following:

         /* Identifiers used in the Win32 registry. */

    #define CYGWIN_INFO_CYGNUS_REGISTRY_NAME "Cygnus Solutions"
    #define CYGWIN_INFO_CYGWIN_REGISTRY_NAME "Cygwin"
    #define CYGWIN_INFO_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_NAME "Program Options"
    #define CYGWIN_INFO_CYGWIN_MOUNT_REGISTRY_NAME "mounts v2"

I'm looking to add the following 3 #defines (with possibly better (i.e.,
longer) names):

    #define CYGDRIVE_FLAGS "cygdrive flags"
    #define CYGDRIVE_PREFIX "cygdrive prefix"
    #define CYGDRIVE_DEFAULT_PREFIX "/cygdrive"

Note that path.cc already includes both so I'm quite willing to use
either.

Thanks,
Jason
