I didn't mean to disappoint, but I work on Cygwin only at work. I don't
currently have the free time or resources at home to do it. As such, I
have to work only on the problems that face our products.
We only needed that functionality because of missing vfork behavior. We
decided to use spawn and a helper executable to solve the problem instead
of going outside the Cygwin box with CreateProcess.
Occasionally, I try to use free work time (lunch, after hours, etc.) to do
otherwise. But lately that's been in very short supply (as in taken up
by work itself).
:-(.
