I guess you meant that it "acts as a Linux emulation layer providing 
substantial Linux API functionality" and a correct Linux API should 
return exidcode in the high byte?

I was mainly referring to the strangeness that windows errorlevel is set 
correct but executing from Mozilla does not... anyway, I guess enigmail 
people should continue on their "let's convert any 256 errorcode to 2 
and assume it is cygwin's fault".
