@joa-quim may wish to check that we are consistently using WIN32 vs _WIN32. I believe _WIN32 is set by the MicroSoft compiler only and hence it is pure Windows, while WIN32 may be set under both Windows and Cygwin. So pure Windows API calls should be _WIN32. |

Well, price we pay for supporting a non-Posix OS! |
Azure Pipepines already have MinGW installed. It seems straightforward to test GMT with MinGW. |

... still don't understand what's so f different between them. |
That is right, but I really don't feel like start maintaining another build system. |

It seems there are very few people using Cygwin. |

No safety issues since this directory was created by GMT. See #3476 for discussion. It does not matter if the user has set their USER_DIR to any area, since we only delete the subdirectory sessions inside that directory. GMT created it, so GMT can delete it. Closes #3476.
