various problems resulting from version 1.7.1


After installing Cygwin 1.7.1, I noticed ugly man pages because
LANG=UTF-8 causes man pages to be formatted with U+2010 hyphens,
which aren't supported by Windows, so I took another's advice and
installed mintty, which seemed to work just fine until I tried to
use FTP or Telnet (the Windows versions). The mintty man page pro-
vides a reason why it might not work with certain interactive pro-
grams (see "LIMITATIONS"), which I presume includes these two
programs.

In lieu of going back to LANG=C and cygwin.bat, wondering if there
is a recommended configuration that doesn't have these problems.
