The following manpage reader script seems to work pretty well under
cygwin, and is made of handy parts that are easily available and
portable to cygwin.

In this case, less-332 was compiled using mingwin32, since there was
alternate code in the less-332 source distribution that lets you take
advantage of mingwin's rtldll.dll library instead of the cygwin terminal.
Compiling less-332 using cygwin results in a version of less.exe that
issues diagnostic messages indicating _where_ the cygwin terminal is broken.
Also, zmore.exe seems to work well using `ln -s less.exe more.exe' as its
version of more.exe.
