I'm a bit puzzled by this patch.  We had code handling emacs and dumb
terminals explicitely in the early forms of the first incarnation of
the pseudo tty code, but fortunately you found a way to handle this
without hardcoding terminal types into Cygwin.  Why do you think we
have to do this now?


Thanks,
