This patch is literally few lines long. I doubt it adds much complexity.

I know only about one way how to do this in GNU/Linux. It is this
ftp://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/kernel/patches/misc/modreq_beep.tgz kernel
module and user space daemon that gets notified whenever there is a beep
pending. IMHO this is much more complex than my patch. If you don't like using
new CYGWIN option I can make it registry value but I think that that is still
more complex than this patch.
