Re: patch cygrunsrv for running native win32 applications

Is there maybe some counter-effect that I don't know? cygrunsrv should have no problems spawning a Windows app. Logging and termination are another story -- cygrunsrv will use POSIX signals. IIRC, there is a cygwin stub for each spawned Windows task. I don't remember if this stub translates some POSIX signals to known Windows signals -- if it does, you can specify those for cygrunsrv to use in terminating the process. If you don't care whether the process gets properly terminated on, say, system shutdown or service stop, and if the process doesn't write anything to stdout/stderr, I don't think there are other caveats here.
