Oops, it's been a while since I looked into it.
D:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe -o "KeyFunctions=C+c:break" 
Shift+Ctrl+c does not produce a break for Cygwin or non-Cygwin processes
mintty -o "KeyFunctions=c:break" -o CtrlExchangeShift=true
Actually, this restores the old behavior of Ctrl+c actually doing a break for Cygwin and non-Cygwin processes.
