Does cygwin implement posix_spawn() yet? It strikes me that if it does,
then software should start using that instead where it can. It really
whips the pants off the slow fork()+exec() implementation in cygwin.

In fact, if just bash used it I'm sure already you'd notice an
improvement.


Oh and at this point I'd like to wave bzr in the svk v git discussion :)
