I would guess that it may see more use on cygwin builds?

Not sure exactly. I dont know how much cygwin lives in the POSIX layer and how much is just emulation.

And with sitecustomize you can make it the default as needed. IMO, what we really need is a patch to File::Find that enables ${^WIN32_SLOPPY_STAT} by default when $^O eq 'MSWin32'
