According to Larry Finger on 9/13/2005 9:25 PM:

I know that 'uname -s' yields 'CYGWIN_NT-5.1' on Windows XP, but I am
writing a multi-platform makefile and need to find a method that will
work for all versions of Windows. What is the result of uname -s for
Windows 9X, Me, NT and 2K?


If you don't care about which version of Windows, look at config.guess,
which just compares against CYGWIN*.  And if you do care, all
possible strings are available by reading the source code, in uname.cc and
wincap.cc.

Thanks. I got the answer from wincap.cc.
