LT> Hope that you can help out. If you want it, you'll have to implement it yourself, i.e. you have to modify cygwin sources to support such feature. I suppose it might be tricky, so i suspect nobody can point you a file which can be easily changed to add such functionality. I should warn you, however, that if your goal is to prevent malicious user from eating up system resources, then your restriction won't help. User can always start more processes using native syscalls (CreateProcess()), which cygwin cannot control.
