According to paul.hermeneutic@gmail.com on 1/19/2008 8:31 PM:
| While aliasing does work for interactive and shell scripts, it does
| not work for Perl backtick expressions.

Why not just do:

echo exec procps "$@" > /usr/local/bin/ps

Then, as long as /usr/local/bin is on the PATH before /usr/bin (which is
the default), then any program (including perl) that exec's 'ps' will use
procps rather than cygwin ps.
