That's not entirely accurate. fork() is several things, including a
POSIX API (specification) and a system call implementation. There's
nothing that says you can't implement a fork() wrapper on windows that
will conform to the fork API while being implemented using windows
APIs internally.
That is not to say I have any idea what cygwin/mingw actually do.
