Well, I don't think setproctitle(3) exists on Linux everywhere (at least not on 
the version that
we have around here), but I second that adding it to Cygwin would be 
beneficial, regardless.

prctl(PR_SET_NAME) exists on Linux but is very limited, so we can't even use it 
for our
purposes...  We do a hack of modifying the argv[] array, in a way different 
than Cygwin's, though.
