Do we want this?  Wouldn't it be better to have a separate export library
for the functions only available with cygserver?


In this scenario, we have always gone with "what does UNIX do?"  I think it
is pretty likely that the main users of this code will be existing programs
which expect not to have to look in other libraries to find Sys V shm and
semaphores.  So, putting the exports in some other library will result in
configury changes for existing programs which is something that cygwin
tries to avoid.


So, there needs to be a method to detect the presence of cygserver executing or not from the cygwin dll and set an error of ENOSYS if not?
