One of changes announced with Cygwin 3.0.0-1 was this:

- Improve uname(2) for newly built applications.

My recollection was that it would allow us to see the Windows version
and/or OS build number, for example:

    Version 1809
    OS build 17763.379

When will uname actually be updated to take advantage of this?  I
regularly used three different Windows 10 machines and each is a
slightly different "vintage".  The version of uame I have (latest) is
dated 2-Feb-2017.

I'm still trying to get a new uname(1) (part of coreutils) built. I had
a free weekend earlier this month to attempt that, but got stalled by a
cygwin1.dll bug on Windows 2012 (now fixed).
