Yes, I knew that, so I probably should have mentioned it.  I can
rephrase: Any chance of getting those functions added, and *then*
having taskset as part of Cygwin's util-linux?

I've not tinkered with Cygwin internals much, so I'm not sure I
could develop a worthy patch.

Yes, again, I could see that.  I'm asking more about the functionality
as opposed to where exactly it is found.  Again, I can use CMD commands
to accomplish it, but it is somewhat ugly.  Reading / writing some new
/proc entries would be fine :-) ...  If necessary I could build /sys
links to the /proc entries to make it more transparent.
