Nope.  I was going to investigate doing this, too.  I've had generic pid
walking code for a couple of years that I was going to "round tuit" into
cygwin but...

Btw, I should point out that it's not likely that I can get a 100% correspondence
between windows pids and cygwin pids.  Instead, the pids will have a likelihood
of being the same but no guarantee.
