Windows 8 doesn't come with telnet.exe installed by default, and when 
you install it from Programs and Features, it's invisible to Cygwin 32, 
apparently due to the SxS madness.

Cygwin 64 *does* see it, but attempting to run it just drops you right 
back at a prompt, immediately.

Even if it did run, wouldn't things like Ctrl-] break due to the 
problems Cygwin currently has running interactive native console programs?

Windows' telnet.exe doesn't even run particularly well within cmd.exe. 
Telnetting to a local web server here, it didn't do local echo properly, 
so I couldn't see whether I'd typed "GET / HTTP1.0" correctly.  (I had 
Cygwin telnet.exe renamed to cygtelnet.exe during this time, to ensure I 
wasn't picking it up by accident.)
