Comment (by gouezel):
I get your point. Unfortunately, I can't say for sure that watchdog is not
helpful to ppl in rare situations (for instance, maybe it uses some
algorithms whose termination is not guaranteed, counting on watchdog to
exit bad situations), so I would rather keep watchdog wherever possible
(i.e., not on cygwin, where setitimer is not fully functional).
I leave the ticket as `needs_work` until someone more knowledgeable on ppl
steps up (or someone who really needs the patch on cygwin pushes for it)
