Hm, I think you may also look for :posix and/or :unix in the *features*, maybe they are present under cygwin. Robert Goldman writes:

That was a good suggestion, but I'm afraid the answer is "no." No handling of cygwin in trivial-features.
Unfortunately, there's also no :CYGWIN feature in *FEATURES*, at least not in the February release I just installed on my VM.
Just curious, does anyboy know, how many lispers runs Lisp under Cygwin?
Note that from my POV there are 2 issues here:
1. ASDF should run correctly under cygwin.
2. At the moment, the only way I know of to run the tests on Windows is through Cygwin, since they are based on make and a shell script.
It is possible that at least #2 could be eased by running under MinGW, but I have never used MinGW. It sounds like it might not have as many pathname incompatibilities as Cygwin.
I don't know if I can install MinGW without breaking my Cygwin install. I'd hate to mess up my (extremely brittle and rickety Windows VM). Any advice (probably off-list would be best) would be much appreciated.
thanks, r
