new '--shutdown' option for cygrunsrv

[Fred Yankowski]

The latest CVS version of cygrunsrv now has a '--shutdown' option,
enabling a feature where cygrunsrv notices the start of system
shutdown and sends the termination signal to the managed application
process at that time, giving the application a chance to shutdown
itself cleanly.

This feature is useful with applications such as the PostgreSQL
postmaster, which won't start up correctly if it was previously
terminated without a chance to clean up some files (postmaster.pid, in
particular).

See the end of
< http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2001-05/msg00075.html > for
instructions on getting cygrunsrv from CVS.

Note that PostgreSQL also needs a patch to ignore SIGHUP for shutdown
on Cygwin to work properly.
