ps -e on Unix returns all processes running on the system.  This command
doesn't do that under cygwin.  Why should it be necessary to supply -W to
see all processes running on the system?  This makes it incompatible with
Linux/Unix, and such scripts that rely on -e doing this will not work the
same on Cygwin.  Can this be fixed?
