  Depends how old.  /proc is a virtual filesystem under cygwin; you won't
see a "proc" subdirectory in your fs root, but it's there alright.  IIRC the
proc FS has been around for some time, but the .dll has only recently become
able to display directory listings for it.  Check this example:-

dk AT mace /repository/gcc-build/binutils/ld> ls -a /
.   Thumbs.db  bin         cygwin.ico  etc  home  repository  test  usr  win
..  artimi     cygwin.bat  davek       gnu  lib   sbin        tmp   var
dk AT mace /repository/gcc-build/binutils/ld> # look!  no proc!
dk AT mace /repository/gcc-build/binutils/ld> ls -a /proc
.     1140  2136  2904  3072  3212  3400  3964  460      meminfo     stat
..    1508  2716  2968  3080  3252  344   3984  cpuinfo  partitions  uptime
1096  1656  2772  3040  3156  3256  3748  4000  loadavg  registry    version
dk AT mace /repository/gcc-build/binutils/ld> # but it's there!
dk AT mace /repository/gcc-build/binutils/ld> cat /proc/cpuinfo
