Cygwin can't introduce Unix-like shutdown mechanisms (like the
handling a non-fatal signal) into non-Cygwin processes which have
no concept of that. It makes no sense.
My original post contained a link to a patch allowing for Cygwin to
correctly terminate native Windows processes. I understand it is not the
position of the Cygwin project to deal with situation, so I think we can
just let it drop.
