Here is another one:
- Allow Administrators to also "kill" all top level Cygwin processes. (Pierre Humblet)

I notice that sighold's argument sig is an integer, while that of sigpause
is a mask (in Cygwin & BSD), which makes sigpause identical to sigsuspend. 

sighold and sigpause are supposed to work together, see "Application Usage" in 
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/signal.html
So now that sighold is present it would make sense to adopt the Posix 
definition for sigpause (there is no sighold in BSD).
