I want to access the Windows event log via /proc or /sys
Cygwin doesn't have that. Is `wevtutil' not sufficient? PTC, though I'm not sure what this is worth. Windows events are not just some numbers and a lump of strings. They contain pointers (more or less) into DLLs which in turn contain log strings. And there aren't just the four Windows logs anymore as in the past, but a whole lot of "application and service logs".
