You can't just copy files from other places into cygwin; there are
licensing issues.  If you could document the needed constants in a
source-independent way (or point to a spec that says what they should
be), perhaps someone else could create a new sysexits.h just for
Cygwin that is free of licensing restrictions.

Otherwise, I see no philisophical problem with adding that
functionality to cygwin.
