Subject: *Why* use cygwin.dll from non-cygwin apps?

What kinds of things to people expect to work when using the cygwin
dll in a non-cygwin application?  For example, I'd expect the path
converters to work (converting posix paths to win32 paths), but I
wouldn't expect fork to work (fork needs to know a *lot* about the
application).

So, I need to know what things are expected to work so I know where to
focus on and what to test.
