Feature Request: Allow cron to terminate with SIGHUP

With every Cygwin session I have two windows opened:  One CONSOLE and 
the other a miscelanious windon running rxvt.  When I want to shut down 
Cygwin and it's web servers, I just exit the console window.  When I 
exit the console window, every process gets terminated with SIGHUP.  No 
exceptions get terminated until now.  The cron command is ignoring 
SIGHUP and thus causes extra stuff to be done to perform a gracefull 
shutdown.

Is there a reason to catch SIGHUP?  I would like to keep my running of 
cygwin.  I knew something changed, now I know.  With cron running all 
the time, it is more difficult to unload cygwin1.dll.
