Why is cygwin's exitstatus seen by "windows" as an errorlevel 256 times

This question is answered right in the first few sentences of the main
cygwin web pag
I guess you meant that it "acts as a Linux emulation layer providing
substantial Linux API functionality" and a correct Linux API should
return exidcode in the high byte?
I was mainly referring to the strangeness that windows errorlevel is set
correct but executing from Mozilla does not... anyway, I guess enigmail
people should continue on their "let's convert any 256 errorcode to 2
and assume it is cygwin's fault".
