Well every Cygwin build i used since two years (before i did not use
Cygwin) has support for '/proc/uptime' At this moment the patch does not
check if '/proc/uptime' exist, sorry. :( I can implement this and return
zero if it not exist.

The '/proc/uptime' support under Cygwin is some kind of "virtual" which
means that if the directory '/proc' not exist (it does not exist in a
clean Cygwin installation) it is still accessible.
