-/* WORKAROUND
- *
- * These functions make it possible to get the Msys PID instead of the
- * Windows PID assigned to the current process. This is done by walking up
- * to the Msys sh.exe process that launched the actual Windows processes.
- *
- * Usually an Msys process would result in the following process tree:
- *   sh.exe           <-- waiting Windows process, but visible Msys process
- *     \
- *     <proc>.exe     <-- waiting Windows process, but not visible to Msys
- *       \
- *       <proc>.exe   <-- running Windows process, but not visible to Msys
- *
- * Attention: This may not be true for all Msys processes.
