platform/unix/Makefile patch for Cygwin

[Nick Forde]

I no longer have access to a Cygwin machine to test this but I think the
following would be a bit more robust:

HOST_SYSTEM  := $(shell uname -s)
ifeq ($(findstring CYGWIN,$(HOST_SYSTEM)), CYGWIN)
...

The GNU config.guess script is an even better way of handling platform
identification issues such as this but for licensing reasons would 
require
Slate to use Autoconf.
