Ok.
Then we won't have to pollute the Win32::Process namespace with this 
cygwin-only functionality. And we don't have to wait for the still 
unmaintained libwin32 upstream.

README.cygwin, cygwin/cygwin.c:
=item cygwin32_winpid_to_pid($pid)

Returns the windows process ID for the given cygwin pid. cygwin-only.

=item cygwin32_pid_to_winpid($pid)

Returns the cygwin process ID for the given windows pid. cygwin-only.


Or as seperate Proc::Cygwin package, which could be maintained at CPAN 
and go to vendor_perl within gerrit's perl package?

   Proc::Cygwin::Win32ProcessID($pid)
   Proc::Cygwin::CygwinProcessID($winpid)
