As for the read problem, how is your CYGWIN environment variable set?  You
can't communicate properly with non-Cygwin programs with tty mode set.

As for MinGW specific libraries, I will eventually get a round tuit.  The
w32api and the mingw runtime are now released as separate packages from Cygwin
and when the update happens the list will be informed.
