	* include/cygwin/wait.h: Use new __wait_status_to_int()
	macro to access status value in W*() status checks.
	Fix status description.
	* include/sys/wait.h: Allow `int' and `union wait' as
	wait status parameter.  Change __wait_status_to_int()
	macro and wait () prototypes accordingly.  Add inline
	functions for C++.  Remove extra `;'.
