Can we take this discussion somewhere else?  I don't really see how it
relates to cygwin.

I've already suggested that there are already shells around that do some
of what you're proposing.  I've already said that, regardless, it would
be very unlikely that I will be interested in this for cygwin.

Discussions about make -j, the awfulness of fork, etc. really don't have
much bearing to cygwin.

Please continue the discussion in private email.
