It doesn't need such generosity. Because we can't choose other
codepages than the system default ANSI or OEM codepage as the
internal codepage of the Cygwin DLL. I think the following
simple switch is sufficient for this purpose.

set CYGWIN=oemcp

Anyway, if Egor would like to handle only output messages in the
OEM codepage (866), the idea proposed by Brad Town in the
following message, where an escape sequence switches codepages,
seems to work well.
