I'm looking into adding some mstask.h and ntifs.h to w32api,
but my time is limited.
I'd prefer far more diagnostic features for developers,
esp. better /proc.
Maybe hook those automounts off cygwin.dll and let mount handle that on 
demand.
And some more parts of util-linux.
And some kind of port for getloadavg().
And some hook for mount to load + unload (!) ntifs-based drivers in unix 
fashion: ext2fs, ext3fs, procfs, romfs, swapfs, cofs, devfs, ...
