The only thing that would speed up process creation in cygwin now is
the use of the windows spawn* family of function calls.  Those could be
used instead of fork/exec but I have a personal aversion to using them
since they are so non-UNIX.  If performance is an issue, however, that
could be something to investigate.

What about posix_spawn()? I don't know the windows spawn things, but I 
assume posix_spawn() is basically trying to be them.. Does it work with 
cygwin if we try to convert some of the more obvious users?

Some of the git users should be easy to convert to posix_spawn()..
