I have created a patch which implements both, a /usr/lib/winsynccwd.o
which you can link against, and a new environment setting CYGWIN=winsynccwd.

To implement this as configurable as possible, I changed the new
cygwin_internal (CW_SYNC_WINCWD) functionality to take an additional
parameter:

  cygwin_internal (CW_SYNC_WINCWD, 0)

  	Uncouple Win32 CWD from Cygwin CWD and immediately set
	Win32 CWD back to \\?\PIPE.

  cygwin_internal (CW_SYNC_WINCWD, 1)

  	Uncouple Win32 CWD from Cygwin CWD, but immediately set the
	Win32 CWD exactly once to the Cygwin CWD.

	This is practically identical to the former simple
	cygwin_internal (CW_SYNC_WINCWD) implementation.

  cygwin_internal (CW_SYNC_WINCWD, 2)
  
  	Couple Win32 CWD  to Cygwin CWD and immediately set
	the Win32 CWD to the Cygwn CWD.

	Every chdir() call will keep the Win32 CWD in sync with the
	Cygwin CWD now, unless the Cygwin CWD is an invalid CWD for
	Win32, in which case it will set the Win32 CWD to \\?\PIPE.

Usage of the new CYGWIN setting "winsynccwd":

   CYGWIN="nowinsynccwd" ==> cygwin_internal (CW_SYNC_WINCWD, 0)
   CYGWIN="winsynccwd"   ==> cygwin_internal (CW_SYNC_WINCWD, 2)
   CYGWIN="winsynccwd:X" ==> cygwin_internal (CW_SYNC_WINCWD, X)

Linking against /usr/lib/winsynccwd.o is equivalent to

  cygwin_internal (CW_SYNC_WINCWD, 2)

Please see the patch below.  Comments are highly welcome.  Alternatively
we just drop the entire jumble and keep the Win32 always in sync.  I'm
still wondering what other guys on the list think...

Btw., linking against libwinsynccwd.a (for instance with -lwinsynccwd)
does not work.  Same for libbinmode.a etc.  I don't see how this can
work at all.  The cygwin_premainX functions are requested by
libcygwin.a which already satisfies the requierment by itself using
its own empty cygwin_premainX functions.  The -lwinsynccwd prior ro
-lcygwin does not provide the function, because it hasn't been requested
at that time.  Unless I'm missing something, it looks to me like the
libbinmode, etc files are just useless.
