out of curiosity I have poked into errno.h (as well as man page) on linux and linux is easier on its users. It uses values defined by POSIX as well as values which make sense in context of Linux. Would you consider relaxing your policy in respect of error codes and POSIX where would it be a benefit for the user? In this particular case, all situation where errno (or a message) is simply reported back to the user would be fine. Only code which does errno specific attempts to recover or be clever about it would be affected. At the moment I my internet access is weak, but once I am at home this would be a grep through cygwin packages to find out such a use.
