Future Cygwin:: enhancements

I just added cygpath style conversions to blead and now I'm wondering what other useful internal API's would be useful to be exported to perl starting with 5.10.

And if it should require the "use Cygwin;" importer. Probably so. The current list of 6 cygwin functions in core require no "use Cygwin;".

I came up with this list for a future Cygwin package:

  cygserver_running() => bool
  CW_GETVERSIONINFO() => str
  CW_GET_CYGDRIVE_PREFIXES($user, $system) => flags as str
  CW_SET_CYGWIN_REGISTRY_NAME($path)
  CW_GET_CYGWIN_REGISTRY_NAME => str
  CW_STRACE_ACTIVE() => bool
  CW_EXTRACT_DOMAIN_AND_USER(\%pw) => (domain, user)
  CW_CMDLINE($pid) => str
  CW_CHECK_NTSEC($filename) => bool
  CW_GET_ERRNO_FROM_WINERROR($error, $deferrno) => int
  CW_GET_POSIX_SECURITY_ATTRIBUTE($attribute, \@psa) => \%sd
  CW_GET_SHMLBA() => GetSystemInfo.dwAllocationGranularity
  CW_GET_UID_FROM_SID($psid) => $uid
  CW_GET_GID_FROM_SID($psid) => $gid
