+ * Cygwin-specific wrapper for win32 ExitProcess and TerminateProcess.
+ * It ensures that the correct exit code, derived from the specified
+ * status value, will be made available to this process's parent (if
+ * that parent is also a cygwin process). If useTerminateProcess is
+ * true, then TerminateProcess(GetCurrentProcess(),...) will be used;
+ * otherwise, ExitProcess(...) is called.
+ *
+ * Used by startup code for cygwin processes which is linked statically
+ * into applications, and is not part of the cygwin DLL -- which is why
+ * this interface is exposed. "Normal" programs should use ANSI exit(),
+ * ANSI abort(), or POSIX _exit(), rather than this function -- because
+ * calling ExitProcess or TerminateProcess, even through this wrapper,
+ * skips much of the cygwin process cleanup code.
