Thanks.
http://www.cygwin.com/packages/procps/procps-010801-1-src
contains _list_ of procps' sources (including top.c and top.h) :
Sun Jan 14 10:40:14 2001 45360 procps-010801/top.c
Sun Jan 14 10:41:29 2001 7242 procps-010801/top.h
Where can one get the sources themselves ?
http://www.cygwin.com/packages/procps/procps-010801/top.c
and
http://www.cygwin.com/packages/procps/procps-010801/top.h
don't exist.
