cygwin's fork() is mature, but I don't think it's easy to extract from cygwin. Moreover, there would be license issues since fork() is GPL. Doing another implementation from scratch is going to be hard.
Also it doesn't sound very efficient compared to a real unix fork, if it has to copy the whole address space instead of using copy-on-write.
