It's almost always the same answer. There is rarely a technical reason
for not adding a new function to cygwin. The reason is almost always
that the function needs to be written and contributed.
I recently made a sweep through newlib and tried to catch everything
that we could export which wasn't being exported. I exported nearly
everything (I think there was one exception). If something isn't
available now, it means that it needs to be implemented from scratch.
