Good point, but is this a requirement that we could get rid of, now that
we have the SysV IPC stuff somewhat isolated? AFAICT cygipc provides
the SysV IPC API (shmget, semget, etc) --- but if there are usable
equivalents in the basic Cygwin environment, we could probably use them
now.
Considering how often we see the forgot-to-start-cygipc mistake,
removing this requirement would be a clear win.
