And how do you propose to inject your startup code into non-cygwin
processes?  And are you sure you won't have any data races, where an
asynchronous signal won't spuriously wake up the child with the wrong
action before your startup code has completed?  Seriously - patches speak
louder than words.  If you mean to back up your claim that this is so
easy, then submit a patch already.  Without a patch, this conversation is
just a waste of time.
