The procps tools from Linux have been ported to Cygwin and are available
here:
http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~ccj00/procps-010801/
Hopefully this should be included as an official package one day (who knows
when?).
If you have found a version of top that doesn't work with Cygwin, than can
you please e-mail it to me via private e-mail. Cygwin's /proc implementation
is design to be as compatible as possible with Linux's.

Chris
