  Well, yes, but... you need to do different things for cygwin and mingw.  So:

        #ifdef __CYGWIN__

and

        #if defined (__MINGW32__) || defined (__MINGW64__)

should do the job.

  Cygwin does not recognize or support DOS special device names; it has its
own POSIX-compatible view on the filesystem.  On cygwin, you want to be
writing to the unix device /dev/conout instead of CONOUT$.
