Timers are not implemented yet in cygwin32 (Not even in
the mythical beta17 :-). The reason is that asynchronous
signals are not available in NT/95 (for reasons see the VMS
source code or any other of Dave Cutlers work, ie. it's a
religious thing :-).

I have some ideas on how to do this but involves a complete
re-write of the I/O code in Cygwin32 so don't expect it anytime
soon...

Sorry for the bad news.

Jeremy.
