According to the "premium" content on Microsoft's web site
( http://premium.microsoft.com/msdn/library/techart/f365/f36c/f383/d398/sdb7c.htm )
the correct way to get a list of all the processes is to loop through all
the Window handles, and get parent processes too.  Seems kludgy to me.
Perhaps a little program is in order to monitor things and make a procfs
like system.  Or maybe have an internal method to keep track of programs
linked with cygwin.dll
