  Check out http://cygwin.com/contrib.html, which includes a link to
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards_42.html for the changelog syntax.

  Oh.  I should have said "which includes a broken link.  Try

http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Change-Logs.html#Change-Logs

  Looks to me like it's a struct _SERVICE_FAILURE_ACTIONS, with a mysterious extra
DWORD between the cActions member and the SC_ACTION array.
