Does that mean that top would finally be able to show Windows processes as well?

On another front, I've recently uüstreamed a patch for a Perl distribution
to use /proc/pid/statm because ps from Cygwin doesn't implement a switch to
show the vmsize information.  The maintainer of said distribution said he
was expecting a BSD ps before anything else and didn't like the Linux /proc
interface a lot, but it seems we might want to move to a more modern ps
implementation (Linux ps uses /proc under the hood, AFAIK) when the
underlying functionality in Cygwin has that covered.
