Very nice. One issue I frequently see with mintty (and any other
pty-based terminal) is with trees of native processes, e.g. a Visual
Studio build through vcbuild. ^Cing it in mintty kills the top process
point blank (via TerminateProcess), which means its child processes
continue to run. Your utility appears to address that. Could its
approach be used in the Cygwin DLL?
