I think that you mean cygwin/version.h.  You're right.  That is the
right place for it.  I was going to suggest this but somehow I thought
that that header file wasn't available outside of the winsup tree.  But,
of course it is.

The naming should be consistent, though.  This should be
CYGWIN_INFO_CYGDRIVE_FLAGS, etc.
