New description:

 source:src/allmydata/test/test_runner.py skips some tests due to this
 code:
 {{{
 if "cygwin" in sys.platform.lower():
     raise unittest.SkipTest("We don't know how to make this test work on
 cygwin: spawnProcess seems to hang forever. We don't know if 'bin/tahoe
 start' can be run on cygwin.")
 }}}
