POSIX requires renice, but so far, no one has contributed
a renice to coreutils.  If I can ever get my employer to sign
my copyright disclaimer, that is one of the projects on my
todo list.  Meanwhile, util-linux
(http://freshmeat.net/releases/72929) apparently provides
a renice, but it has not yet been ported to cygwin.
