This really isn't going to work well for you.  However, I'll point you 
to this thread if you want to play around with it:

<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-06/msg00274.html>

But really, there is no support in the Cygwin DLL for doing this kind of 
thing.  If you're seriously interested in this stuff, you should consider
adding such support to Cygwin itself.
