-W is not possible with procps, unless somebody implements it.  We can't
just copy over the code from Cygwin's ps for licensing reasons either.

But, here's the deal:  Nothing at all speaks against improving Cygwin's
ps to put it on a better footing with procps.

It's rather old code(*), but pretty simple and not much of it (less than
400 lines).  It should be fairly easy to add functionality to make it a
better ps.  A clear case of https://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PGA

(*) There are still Windows 2000 considerations in the code.  Yuk!
