I agree.  Sending patches to cygwin AT cygwin DOT com would be the way to go...

FWIW, I have contributed code to OpenSSH which allows 9x applications
to run in the background.  If you want to have a look into the code,
just download the OpenSSH sources, file openbsd-compat/bsd-cygwin_util.c,
function register_9x_service().  Perhaps that helps to implement a 9x
patch?!?
