As the posting above that you referenced indicates, there is no solution for
this that will work with Win9x/Me versions of Windows.  There is the solution
mentioned for other Windows versions but it's quite some work to make this
happen.  Since Cygwin is dropping support for Win9x/Me versions, it's now
more reasonable to solve this problem but <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#SHTDI>.
