Well, I don't think setproctitle(3) exists on Linux everywhere (at least not on the version that
we have around here), but I second that adding it to Cygwin would be beneficial, regardless.
prctl(PR_SET_NAME) exists on Linux but is very limited, so we can't even use it for our
purposes... We do a hack of modifying the argv[] array, in a way different than Cygwin's, though.
