I came from 25+ years SVR3/SVR4 Bell Labs Unix background.  There was no 
such "setsid" so I wrote (quite trivial) setpgrp(1) to match the Syscall 
setpgrp(2).  I'm sure that GNU/Cygwin has much more to offer and as time 
go by, I'll become aware of them.  I thank you for bringing that to my 
attention.
