Cygwin has its own (currently undocumented) hooking mechanism.  Setting
the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to the name of a DLL will cause any
function in the DLL to override the similarly named cygwin function.  It
works similarly to linux:

 LD_PRELOAD
  A whitespace-separated list of additional, user-specified, ELF shared
  libraries to be loaded before all others.  This can be used to
  selectively override functions in other shared libraries.

except that it uses DLLs rather than "ELF shared libraries".
