In theory, redirecting all descriptors attached to the console window
should allow to close the console window since when the last open
handle is closed, Cygwin calls FreeConsole().  It's just that I don't
know currently why it doesn't close the console.

If setsid is run inside a Windows console it works as described in the readme file. But when run from a cygwin console it won't let you close the console window only after the command has finished. This behavior is under my XP Prof.
