mksh is currently up for adoption:

  http://cygwin.1069669.n5.nabble.com/Packages-up-for-adoption-td111353.html

I briefly considered adopting it, mainly for historical purposes.[1]  But, you seem to have a much stronger itch here.  You should adopt it.

Actually, I think whoever adopts mksh should replace it with the real Korn shell.  The whole pdksh -> mksh code path reflects the historical unavailability of the true ksh source code, but that changed in 2000.[2]


[1] It’s sometimes useful to be able to compare ksh88/93 behavior to Bash and Zsh.
