The commentary about the errno values is duplicated. Other than that, it
seems clear.  I have one question, specifically as it relates to
run/run2/cygstart: these apps use CreateProcess.  In the documentation,
you say:

But earlier in this thread, you suggested that run/run2/cygstart should
use the new CW_SYNC_WINENV.  Which is it?
