But that's exactly what Cygwin provides, no?  I was also under the impression
That one could not ship cygwin1.dll without Red Hat's blessing.

FWIW, Windows now has RtlCloneUserProcess() functionality, so implementations
of fork() can be much simpler.  They also added pseudo-console support a few
years back.  Progress! 😊
