Procps only for sysctl, and sysctl is not working on Cygwin anyway. I'll create a new procps package which omits sysctl entirely. As for sysvinit (and potential others), I'm not exactly keen to add another hardcoded mount /usr/sbin -> /sbin or some such. Perhaps we should simply disregard /sbin and see to it that no new package installs anything into it.
