Summary: Enable os.startfile and webbrowser.WindowsDefault on Cygwin

Initial Comment:
This patch enables os.startfile() on Cygwin, converting
Cygwin POSIX paths to Windows paths unless they look
like URLs, and calling ShellExecute() on the result. It
also enables the webbrowser.WindowsDefault class, which
uses os.startfile(). It has to make WindowsError and
the PyErr*Windows* functions available as well because
win32_startfile() might call them.
