Thanks for this, it's a good start to getting top working under Cygwin.

My question is that when you run the Configure script what do give as
the 'appropriate module' for the machine? I've used 'linux' but I wonder
if there is a better option, or whether we should invent a Cygwin
machine definition?

Secondly, when it runs, I'm not convinced the figures are correct! For
example, my setiathome process should show almost 100% cpu utilisation,
but it shows 0%! Is this a refelction of my choice above, or problems
with the /proc file system infotmation?

Hints and tips on this much appreciated.

Regards,
Tony.
