Fair enough on the requirement.  Just FYI I'll be AFK for two weeks beginning 
July 4, so will try to get this done before I leave.  No big worry there.

Please forgive my ignorance of licensing details...  Are we allowed to copy GNU 
library source into Cygwin?  Or is re-implementation from documentation the way 
to go?  In either case, must the glibc file organization be followed or is 
platform-specific rejiggering acceptable?

I'd like to just add the CPU_SET macros to Cygwin's new sys/cpuset.h and any 
needed support code to our sched.cc but am willing to hear other options.
Thanks,
