The full ucontext is available to signal handlers since Cygwin 2.0.4 if
sigaction is called with the SA_SIGINFO flag set, courtesy of Jon
Turney's efforts.

New in 2.2.0 is only the matching implementation of the aforementioned
functions.

Please note that the ucontext_t and mcontext_t types are platform
specific.  The mcontext_t type reflects the Windows CONTEXT type more
than the Linux mcontext_t type.

For the ucontext_t type see /usr/include/sys/ucontext.h
For the mcontext_t type see /usr/include/cygwin/signal.h
