Are you porting an application to use cygwin?  I don't see why you've
chosen this mailing list for your question.  It doesn't seem to have
much relevance for "a by-approval developers list for discussing issues
regarding applications that use the Cygwin DLL".

To answer your question:  No.  There is no built in support for System
V SHM.  Chuck Wilson's web page should point you towards a version of
System V SHM.  Look at the cygwin web page under "Related Sites".
