I have fixed Cygwin issues as well, and the MAP_RESERVE implementation
in Cygwin was for the sake of SWI Prolog in the first place.  Oh well.

Having said that, I think Jan is right and your subject line is a bit

somebody else has to provide the patches.  Typically, if you want to
be the Cygwin maintainer for SWI Prolog, that would be you...
