We used to have the configuration of the kernel available in a
somewhat convenient place (/run/booted-system/kernel-modules/config)
but that has disappeared. So instead just make /proc/configs.gz
available. It only eats a few kilobytes.
So far, we determined this based on stdenv.is64bit, but there are cases
where you want to run/build a 32bit program on a 64 bit Windows.
This is now possible, by passing windowsImage.arch = "i686" | "x86_64"
to runInWindowsVM. Based an what was passed, the corresponding Cygwin
packages and setup.exe are bootstrapped.

Another very annoying part. Unfortunately, the only option we might have
here is to include it in nixpkgs or maybe make a fixed Hash on the
result of the closure fetcher.

As the official Cygwin setup binary download doesn't come in snapshots
or even versioned, the fetchurl of setup.exe will frequently fail, which
in turn will annoy us as hell (or at least me).
One warning though: The fetchurl is currently broken and the cross-build
might not work yet for example on mingw32 (mingw-w64 branch on its way),
but the upstream URL has already changed and the new version contains a
bug (not yet tracked down) which breaks our Windows bootstrap process.
So to conclude: If it's already broken, make it at least "less broken".
"Not broken" is coming soon with the merge of the mingw-w64 branch.

This is primarily going to be used for vmTools.runInWindowsVM, but in
theory, it could also work with Nix on CygWin which I haven't tested.

Coincidentally, even with this typo, most tests work anyway, so I didn't
notice it in the first place.
