After discussion with Reini and Gerrit, I made some changes. Package
for the builtin extra functions is now Cygwin::, and the cygwin32_
prefix is removed.
Gerrit, if this looks good to you, do you want to release a new
cygwin perl?
Great! Now we only have to provide better place for the docs.
See the attached patch for pods/perlcygwin.pod
How about that?

+Cygwin processes have their own pid, which is different from the
+underlying windows pid. Most posix compliant Proc functions expect
+the cygwin pid, but several Win32::Process functions expect the
+winpid. E.g. C<$$> is the cygwin pid of F</usr/bin/perl>, which is not
