Glenn said that you made cygwin fixes that enable _lib_vfork in

I have only _real_vfork enabled.
Have these fixes not yet made their way into cygwin?
The only thing I am aware of is that a fix was needed to inherit signal
handler settings during vfork(). I believe that Christopher put the
changes into CVS, but I don't know if a cygwin1.dll has been released
with that change.
However, I have both _lib_spawnveg and _use_spawnveg, so SHOPT_SPAWN is
used for sh/xec.c even if it has not been explicitely defined before.
So, yes, I'm building ksh with spawn support and it works fine.
Great.
