Cygwin doesn't have that.  Is `wevtutil' not sufficient?

PTC, though I'm not sure what this is worth.  Windows events are not
just some numbers and a lump of strings.  They contain pointers (more
or less) into DLLs which in turn contain log strings.  And there
aren't just the four Windows logs anymore as in the past, but a whole
lot of "application and service logs".
